Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add "within" to filter logic
Add a way to trace events by what function they fall in.
echo 'within == "vfs_read" > events/sched/sched_switch/filter
Will only trigger sched_switch events that happen within the vfs_read
function. It uses a stacktrace at the event and checks if any entry
is within the specified function and if so, it prints the event.
- Remove a duplicate definition of ftrace_set_clr_event() from the
header
- Do not have ftrace_set_clr_event() modify its input buffer
Have the buffer passed into ftrace_set_clr_event() to be const char *
and not allow modifications to it that might cause side effects.
- Add kunit tests for ftrace_parse_event_string()
- Add filter argument to __ftrace_set_clr_event()
Make it possible to set a filter on an event at the same time it is
enabled.
- Add event filtering logic to the kernel command line
To allow filtering events on boot, allow filtering to be specified on
the kernel command line when enabling events.
- Rename "ring_buffer_size()" to "ring_buffer_capacity()"
"size" refers to how much is allocated whereas the actual return
value is the amount of available data in the ring buffer minus its
meta data.
- Rename "trace_array_entries" to "trace_array_capacity"
There's several functions that use "entries" and returns the amount
of data that that is usable. "entries" should be only for the number
of events, not the amount of data.
- Print the histogram "bucket" size as unsigned.
If a bucket size is LONG_MAX, then it shows up as a negative number.
- Show bucket size in output of histograms
The output of what the histogram is shown doesn't show the size of
the buckets when buckets are used. The output should be the same as
the input and since specifying buckets without a size is an invalid
command, the output to display what was entered should also show the
size.
- Fix stacktrace modifier output
Only show the stacktrace modifier when it was specified in creation.
- Unregister filed variable histograms when the command fails
If one histogram references a variable of another histogram it
registers that other histogram. But if the first histogram fails in
setup after it registered the other histogram it doesn't unregister
it. Have the first histogram add the reference to the other histogram
so the failure clean up will unregister the second histogram too.
- Fix 64-bit signed histogram fields on 32-bit kernels
A fix to convert char * to u64 with added casting also incorrectly
added an intermediate cast to convert a long value to u64 which ended
up truncating the upper 32 bits for 32-bit kernels. Remove the
intermediate typecast.
- Print signed histogram keys as signed
Histogram keys were being printed as unsigned and with signed keys it
was giving the wrong output.
- Use copy_from_user() and not __copy_from_user() in syscall tracing
The syscall tracing incorrectly was using __copy_from_user() which
could be an issue if the system trusts perf doing the trace.
- Take trace_types_lock when recording a new module in persistent
buffer
When a new module is loaded, the persistent ring buffer saves it in
its persistent memory. All the trace_arrays are iterated looking for
any persistent buffer to add the module to. But it did not hold the
trace_types_lock meaning a trace_array could be added or removed
while iterating the list.
- Only create tracepoint guest_halt_poll_ns when it is used
The tracepoint guest_halt_poll_ns is defined in the power management
code but it is only used when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_HALTPOLL is
enabled. This wastes memory when that config isn't enabled so wrap
the tracepoint around that as well.
- Handle empty fields for events in trace_event_get_offsets()
The user events could have empty fields and this causes
trace_event_get_offsets() to crash as it expects events to always
have fields. Make the function handle events with no fields.
- Reject incomplete event filter expressions
If a filter has an incomplete expression (common_pid == 1111 || ), it
will cause a out-of-bounds bug. Have the predicate_parse() only
process the expression if it is complete.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have the stacktrace option work with func-args
The func_stack_trace option has it's own ftrace handler and so does
the func-args option. When they are both set, neither would run. The
function tracer itself would error out.
Allow the stacktrace and function args to work together.
- Avoid BTF lookup in atomic context
The ftrace_dump() can call function graph tracing output from an
atomic context (like an NMI watchdog going off). The BTF lookup is
not safe to call from atomic context. Have btf_find_func_proto()
return if in atomic context.
- Build trace_btf.c when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled
New code is depending on trace_btf.c but that only gets built when
BPF_SYSCALL is also enabled. As the new code doesn't depend on that,
have trace_btf.c get built with just DEBUG_INFO_BTF set.
- Have function graph return values have BTF processing
Have the return values printed by the function graph tracer use BTF
to print the values in better format. For example, if it's a char,
short, signed or unsigned, print according to the value defined by
BTF.
- Add a "max" field to the function profiler stats
The function profiler shows all the functions run in the kernel, the
number of times they are called, and the total time they took up.
Also add a "max" field which holds the longest time a function ran
for.
- Fix memory leak in module with all skipped functions
On module load, the ftrace entries are recorded to keep track of what
functions can be traced or not. Some functions may be skipped for
various reasons (some defined by the architecture). If all functions
in the module are skipped, its data page is not freed and can leak.
Catch this case and free the empty page.
- Allow architectures to reject functions from being traced
Allow architectures to skip a function address by returning zero from
ftrace_call_adjust().
- Initialize modname and offset in print_rec()
The variables modname and offset are initialized by
kallsyms_lookup(). If that fails, the values are not set, but the
code continues to print other information. The modname and offset are
used later, but if the kallsyms_lookup() failed, they will not be
set.
If a module is being loaded and unloaded at the same time as reading
the available_filter_functions file, it can cause a fault due to the
lookup failing and modname and offset being used uninitialized.

Document the two new Landlock permission categories, introduced with ABI
12, in the userspace API guide, admin guide, trace-event guide, UAPI
comments, and kernel security documentation.
The kernel security documentation generalizes the existing per-object
access-rights framing into three restriction models (handled_access_*,
handled_permissions, scoped) and states criteria for choosing among
them, so future permission or scope additions have a documented place to
land.

The existing documentation for funcgraph-retval is outdated and partially
incorrect, as it describes limitations that have now been resolved.
Recent changes (e.g., using BTF to obtain function return types) have
addressed key issues:
1. Return values are now printed only for non-void functions.
2. Values are trimmed to the correct width of the return type, avoiding
garbage data from high bits.

A key with the ".buckets=N" modifier is stored as the start of its bucket,
and hist_trigger_print_key() prints the range it covers as start to
start + N - 1. That addition overflows once the start is within N of
U64_MAX:
# echo 'hist:keys=offset.buckets=10' >> \
events/syscalls/sys_enter_lseek/trigger
# ./seeker 5 -1 # lseek(0, 5) and lseek(0, -1)
# cat events/syscalls/sys_enter_lseek/hist
...
{ offset: ~ 18446744073709551610-3 } hitcount: 1
{ offset: ~ 0-9 } hitcount: 1
...
18446744073709551610 + 10 - 1 does not fit in 64 bits, so the range ends
below where it starts.
The bucket does end at U64_MAX: it holds every value hist_field_bucket()
maps onto its start, and there is no value above U64_MAX. Clamp the printed
end there. Printed honestly the group is shorter than the size asked for,
which histogram.rst does not mention, so say it there.

Low-level kernel functions are called from many different paths.
When debugging, it is often useful to filter trace events to only
those occurring within a specific call chain.
Add a "within" filter predicate that tests whether a given function
appears in the current call stack at event time. The function name
is resolved to its address range via kallsyms during filter setup;
at runtime, stack_trace_save() captures the call stack and compares
each return address against the stored range.
Example:
echo 'within == "vfs_read"' > events/sched/sched_switch/filter
Only "==" and "!=" operators are supported. The filter depends on
CONFIG_STACKTRACE.

The tracepoint documentation claims that denial and lifecycle events
expose every input needed to reproduce a verdict. Instead document how
denial, ruleset, and domain events identify the denying policy, checked
operation and object, and reason for denial. Direct consumers to generic
tracepoints for additional operational context.
State the reconstruction limits: IDs are boot-local, rule checks have no
request ID, and exported records may be lost or cross-CPU reordered.
Also replace the incorrect BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT guidance with libbpf
SEC("tp_btf/...") attachment and refer consumers to the event prototypes
for callback argument layouts.

Name each event after the identity it reports. Add-rule events describe
UAPI rule insertion, so rename them after LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH and
LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT. Check-rule events describe matches in internal
rule trees, so rename them after LANDLOCK_KEY_INODE and
LANDLOCK_KEY_NET_PORT. This remains accurate if multiple UAPI rule types
share one lookup and stored rule. Keep denial event names based on
filesystem and network families because they describe final access
decisions.
Use u64 for growable access masks passed by value to add-rule and
check-rule typed BTF callbacks. CO-RE can relocate pointer-reached
fields, but it cannot widen a scalar callback slot declared by a BPF
program. Keep native access_mask_t for internal state and trace records.
For add-rule callbacks, report the normalized per-call contribution
passed to landlock_insert_rule() and expose the complete validated flags
value. Put the ruleset and flags first as a common invocation prefix.
This distinguishes duplicate and effective-zero additions without
recovering arguments from saved syscall registers.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace
The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was
first introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if
something was to go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off
function tracing for the latency tracers that would have it on by
default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10) the option "function-trace" was
introduced to disable function tracing for the latency tracers as the
"ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of a hammer and caused
too many side effects.
When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the
ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a
live kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some
function hooks as "PERMANENT".
Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same
reasons.
The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do
what it says it does and there is no reason to use it.
Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is
deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that
user space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any
developer that it no longer works).
Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just
making it not do anything is the path forward to that.
- Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled
Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being
turned off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still
doesn't break. But having the write of '0' return an error caused
that test to break. Updated the test to handle the new change.

Until now, Landlock observability documentation covered only audit
records. The tracepoints added by the previous commits introduce a
second channel with different semantics (firing regardless of audit
configuration and domain log flags, exposing the full ruleset and domain
state to eBPF via BTF), which kernel developers, administrators, and
userspace tool authors need to discover and compare against audit.
Add a dedicated "Landlock Trace Events" reference covering the event
categories, enabling events via tracefs, ruleset versioning, eBPF access
through BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT, and the same_exec and logged denial fields
(logged being the kernel's audit-logging decision, so a stateless ftrace
filter can select the denials audit would record with logged==1).
Cross-reference it from the administrator, kernel-internals, and
userspace API documents, contrasting tracepoints with audit: when each
channel is preferred, what each guarantees, and how NOAUDIT hooks and
audit rate limiting affect them.
Also document the relational other-party domain fields the scope and
ptrace denial tracepoints expose (tracee_domain, target_domain,
peer_domain; 0 when the other party is unsandboxed), so a consumer can
resolve them against the lifecycle events and reproduce the two-domain
verdict.

Writing 0 to kernel.ftrace_enabled has not reliably disabled ftrace
for years (FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT users already block it, and more
callers rely on ftrace always being on). Refuse the write instead of
leaving it in an inconsistent "disables some, not all" state: return
-EOPNOTSUPP and log a message. Reads and enabling (writing 1) are
unaffected.
Update the docs to note the deprecation up front.

Boot-time tracing currently supports kprobe-events and synthetic-events
under per-event configuration options.
Extend boot-time tracing to support newly added dynamic probe types:
- event probes (eprobe) under the "eprobes" event group
- function probes (fprobe) under the "fprobes" event group
- tracepoint probes (tprobe) under the "tracepoints" or "tprobes"
event group
To support this cleanly, update dyn_event_create() in trace_dynevent.c
so that passing NULL as the type parameter delegates to
create_dyn_event(), allowing generic creation of any registered
dynamic event type from a raw command string.
Update Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst accordingly to describe
the new per-event bootconfig options.

Changes in v3:
- Check return values of strscpy() and snprintf() in trace_boot_add_probe_event()
to prevent silent buffer truncation when constructing probe event strings.
Changes in v2:
- Fix raw command detection logic for eprobes, fprobes, and tprobes
by requiring ':' or isspace() after type prefix.
- Consolidate duplicate loop logic into trace_boot_add_probe_event()
helper function.

epoll_wait() is a valid sleeping reason for real-time tasks because it
uses PI-aware locking, but the rtapp sleep monitor documentation only
discusses clock_nanosleep() and futexes. Document it.
ABORT_SLEEP represents a task restoring TASK_RUNNING before entering
the scheduler. Since the task does not actually block, it becomes
runnable again without a wakeup sequence unsafe for real-time. Document
this behavior.

TLP Headers traced by HiSilicon PCIe tune and trace device (PTT) in
4DW format are shown in the document as below:
bits [31:30] [ 29:25 ][24][23][22][21][ 20:11 ][ 10:0 ]
|-----|---------|---|---|---|---|-------------|-------------|
DW0 [ Fmt ][ Type ][T9][T8][TH][SO][ Length ][ Time ]
DW1 [ Header DW1 ]
DW2 [ Header DW2 ]
DW3 [ Header DW3 ]
Problem:
The DW0 bit field layout of the hisi_ptt_4dw union does not match the
actual bit ordering in little-endian memory, causing incorrect field
decoding.
Test on Kunpeng 930 SOC, generating data flow with `iperf` commands:
- server side:
iperf -s
- client side:
iperf -c $ip_addr -t 30
Trace the TLP headers with hisi_ptt on server side at the same time:
perf record -e hisi_ptt12_0/type=4,filter=0x05101,direction=2,format=0/ \
--max-size 50M -o perf.data &
The trace aims to capture completion TLPs, learn more in the document:
https://docs.kernel.org/trace/hisi-ptt.html
Decode perf.data with hisi_ptt decoder:
perf report -D
The hisi_ptt decoder produces the following result:
[...perf headers and other information]
. ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes
. 00000000: 68 87 20 94 Format 3 Type 1a T9 0 T8 1 TH 1 SO 1 Length 10 Time 4a1
. 00000004: 40 00 00 00 Header DW1
. 00000008: 40 00 01 51 Header DW2
. 0000000c: 00 00 00 00 Header DW3
[...other hisi_ptt TLP headers]
According to PCIe r5.0 sec 2.2.1, the Fmt & Type of Cpl/CplD is supposed
to be 8b'00001010' / 8b'01001010'
However, the Format & Type decoder analyzing result is 8b'01111010'.
It does not match field encodings of any TLP.
Correct decoder result should be:
[...perf headers and other information]
. ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes
. 00000000: 94 20 87 68 Format 2 Type a T9 0 T8 0 TH 0 SO 1 Length 10 Time 768
. 00000004: 00 00 00 40 Header DW1
. 00000008: 51 01 00 40 Header DW2
. 0000000c: 00 00 00 00 Header DW3
[...other hisi_ptt TLP headers]
To solve the problem:
1. Drop the union and C bitfield struct, store the raw DW value in
a plain uint32_t, and extract the fields with FIELD_GET() against
GENMASK/BIT masks declared in the header so they can be reused by
other translation units. The masks are portable across endianness and
compilers.
2. Print all DW hex values in big-endian byte order for readability,
matching the bit field layout shown in the 4DW format diagram.
3. Read the DW value with get_unaligned_le32() instead of an unaligned
pointer cast, avoiding both strict-aliasing violations and
alignment hazards on hosts that do not support unaligned access.

Add a wakeup monitor to detect a lower-priority task waking up a
higher-priority task.
The rtapp/sleep monitor already detects this. However, that monitor
triggers an error in the context of the wakee task and user only gets
the stacktrace of that task. It is also extremely useful to get the
stacktrace of the waker task, which this monitor offers. In other
words, this monitor complements the rtapp/sleep monitor.

The rtapp/sleep monitor's primary purpose is detecting common mistakes
with user-space real-time design. Monitoring real-time issues with
kernel threads is a bonus.
However, accomodating kernel threads complicates the monitor due to
the edge cases which is seen by the monitor as lower-priority task
waking higher-priority task:
- kthread_stop() wakes up the task in order to stop it.
- The rcu thread and migration thread can be woken by any task.
- The ktimerd thread is woken near the end of irq_exit_rcu(), where
the preempt counter is "broken" and falsely says this is task
context. This requires the monitor to use the hardirq_context flag
instead of the preempt counter.
Beside complicating the monitor, the final case also requires enabling
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS (so that "hardirq_context" can be used). This
adds overhead to the kernel even when the monitor is not active. This
may be an obstacle to enabling this monitor in distros' kernels.
Furthermore, kernel threads usually are started before the monitor is
enabled. Consequently, the threads' states (i.o.w. the monitor's
atomic propositions for the threads) are not fully known to the
monitor. As a result, the kernel threads mostly cannot be monitored.
Overall, the downsides of accomodating kernel threads outweights the
benefits. Thus, exclude kernel threads to simplify the monitor.

CLOCK_REALTIME is the only clock that often is misused in real-time
applications. The other clocks either are safe for real-time uses
(CLOCK_TAI, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_BOOTTIME) or are unlikely to be misused
(CLOCK_AUX, CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID).
Update the monitor to only warn about CLOCK_REALTIME.
While at it, update the out-of-sync documentation.

The rtapp/sleep monitor detects real-time tasks which go to sleep in an
real-time-unsafe manner. If this happen, the monitor triggers a trace event
in the sched_wakeup tracepoint's handler.
However, the invoking context of that trace event is not the most
informative, because of the stack trace of that event is the wakeup's code
path which is not very helpful:
74.669317: rv:error_sleep: condvar[254]: violation detected
ltl_validate+0x345 ([kernel.kallsyms])
handle_sched_wakeup+0x34 ([kernel.kallsyms])

sched_ttwu_pending+0x104 ([kernel.kallsyms])

cpu_startup_entry+0x24 ([kernel.kallsyms])
start_secondary+0xf8 ([kernel.kallsyms])
common_startup_64+0x13e ([kernel.kallsyms])
What would be much more valuable is the stack trace of the task itself.
Instead of using the sched_wakeup tracepoint, use the sched_exit
tracepoint. This makes the event happen in the task's context, making
the stack trace far more informative for user:
rv:error_sleep: condvar[254]: violation detected
ltl_validate+0x345 ([kernel.kallsyms])

fetcharg
When tracing the kernel local variables, sometimes we need to get the
CPU local variables. To access it, current simple dereference is not
enough.
Thus, introduce a special this_cpu_read() dereference to access per-cpu
variable for the current CPU (accessing other CPU variable may race with
updates on other CPUs). Also this_cpu_ptr() is for accessing per-cpu
pointer.
Those are working as same as the kernel percpu macro.

Since we can use the BTF to cast value to a structure pointer type,
it is useful to introduce "$current" special variable support to
fetcharg.
User can define a fetcharg to access current task_struct properties
using BTF info. e.g.
$current->cpus_ptr

Add a field specifier option for the typecast. This works like
container_of() macro.
(STRUCT[,FIELD[.FIELD2...]])VAR
This is equivalent to :
container_of(VAR, struct STRUCT, FIELD[.FIELD2...])
For example:
echo "f tick_nohz_handler next_tick=(tick_sched,sched_timer)timer->next_tick" >> dynamic_events
This will trace tick_nohz_handler() with its tick_sched::next_tick which
is converted from @timer by contianer_of(tick, struct tick_sched, sched_timer).
So, if you enabkle both fprobes:tick_nohz_handler__entry and
timer:hrtimer_expire_entry events, we will see something like:
<idle>-0 [002] d.h1. 3778.087272: hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000d63db328 f
unction=tick_nohz_handler now=3777450051040
<idle>-0 [002] d.h1. 3778.087281: tick_nohz_handler__entry: (tick_nohz_handler+0x4
/0x140) next_tick=3777450000000

When we hit an open parenthesis right after typecast closing
parenthesis, it means we have nested typecast. This allows us to
typecast a generic data member in a structure to a pointer to
another structure.
For example, to cast a DATA_MEMBER of VAR structure to STRUCT pointer
and get MEMBER value.
(STRUCT)(VAR->DATA_MEMBER)->MEMBER
Also, we can nest typecast.
(STRUCT1)((STRUCT2)$ARG->FIELD2)->FIELD1
Currently the max nest level is limited to 3.
This also allows user to use typecasting for registers or stacks on
kprobe events. e.g.
(STRUCT)(%ax)->MEMBER
(STRUCT)($stack0)->MEMBER

Support BTF typecast feature on other probe events, but only if it is
kernel function entry or return, and must use function parameter name
or $retval. This means you can do:
(STRUCT)PARAM->MEMBER
Note: you can not use other variables like $stackN, %reg etc. That
needs nesting support.
To support other probe events, we just need to use last_struct type
when we find a function parameter in parse_btf_arg().
This also updates <tracefs>/README file to show struct typecast.

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:
- Use CIO device online variable instead of the internal FSM state to
determine device availability during purge operations
- Remove extra check of task_stack_page() because try_get_task_stack()
already takes care of that when reading /proc/<pid>/wchan
- Allow user-space to use the new SCLP action qualifier 4 for to
provide NVMe SMART log data to the platform.
- Send AP CHANGE uevents on successful bind and successful association
to notify user-space about SE operations on AP queue devices
- Add an s390dbf kernel parameter to configure debug log levels and
area sizes during early boot
- On arm64 the empty zero page is going to be mapped read-only. Do the
same for s390 with an explicit set_memory_ro() call
- Improve s390-specific bcr_serialize() and cpu_relax() implementations
- Remove all unused variables to avoid allmodconfig W=1 build fails
with latest clang-23
- Cleanup default Kconfig values for s390 selftests
- Add a s390-tod trace clock to allow comparing trace timestamps
between different systems or virtual machines on s390
- Remove the s390 implementation of strlcat() in favor of the generic
variant
- Make consistent the calling order between
page_table_check_pte_clear() and secure page conversion across all
code paths
- Rearrange some fields within AP and zcrypt structs to reduce memory
consumption and unused holes
- Shorten GR_NUM and VX_NUM macros and move them to a separate header
- Replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() in few sources
- Introduce an infrastructure for more efficient this_cpu operations.
Eliminate conditional branches when PREEMPT_NONE is removed
- Enable Rust support
- Use z10 as minimum architecture level, similar to the boot code, to
enforce a defined architecture level set
- Improve and convert various mem*() helper functions to C. For that
add .noinstr.text section to avoid orphaned warnings from the linker
- Fix the function pointer type in __ret_from_fork() to correct the
indirect call to match kernel thread return type of int
- Revert support for DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS to avoid an endless exception
loop on read from donated Ultravisor pages at unaligned addresses

Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to be able to typecast a trace event
field that is a pointer to a structure.
Currently, a dereference must be a number, where the user has to figure
out manually the offset of a member of a structure that they want to
dereference.
But for event probes that records a field that happens to be a pointer to
a structure, it cannot dereference these values with BTF naming, but
must use numerical offsets.
For example, to find out what device a sk_buff is pointing to in the
net_dev_xmit trace event, one must first use gdb to find the offsets of the
members of the structures:
(gdb) p &((struct sk_buff *)0)->dev
$1 = (struct net_device **) 0x10
(gdb) p &((struct net_device *)0)->name
$2 = (char (*)[16]) 0x118
And then use the raw numbers to dereference:
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit +0x118(+0x10($skbaddr)):string' >> dynamic_events
If BTF is in the kernel, then instead, the skbaddr can be typecast to
sk_buff and use the normal dereference logic.
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit (sk_buff)skbaddr->dev->name:string' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/eprobes/xmit/enable
# cat trace

The sched monitor page was linking to Daniel's website which is now
down. The main purpose of the link was to point to a source for the
models from the original author and that can be found also in his
published paper.
Replace the link with a reference to Daniel's "A thread synchronization
model for the PREEMPT_RT Linux kernel" which can be found online and
includes the models definitions as well as the work behind them (not the
original patches but since they're based on a 5.0 kernel and are mostly
included upstream, there's little value in keeping them in the docs).

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types
No functional changes, only less code duplication.
- Add Hybrid Automata model class
Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take
into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
scripts.
- Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example
Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
example of automaton working with real time variables.
- Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.
- Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA
Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
monitors.
- Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities
Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
exporting helpers.
- Add nomiss deadline monitor
Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
before their deadline.
- Improve rvgen error handling
Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.
- Improve python code quality in rvgen
Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of
__len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file
operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into
constants, remove unused imports and methods.
- Fix small bugs in rvgen
The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error
in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
and typos in comments.
- rvgen refactoring
Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle
required arguments directly in argparse.
- Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor
The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add remote buffers for pKVM
pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest
from the host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as
the kernel is to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a
memory mapping between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may
send commands to enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the
kernel will read this memory mapping just like user space can read
the memory mapped ring buffer of the kernel tracing system.
Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to
worry about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs
like the kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as
complex. The remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer
that works in a single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub
buffers. The data layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to
share the same parsing.
Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement
it also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM
implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86.
The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in
the remote buffers of this tree.
- Make the backup instance non reusable
The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that
the persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using
the data from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing.
It is made read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically
removed.
- Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording
To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the
kernel command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to
before the the command line options start recording.
- Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int'
The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when
it defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single
byte in size.
- Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask
When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that
the CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is
done, and a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before
the setting of the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all
readers, since once a buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted
if that CPU goes offline, so this allocation is almost always done at
boot up before any readers exist.
If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time
after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force
the smp_rmb() for each CPU.
- Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data
When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects
an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock
being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug
that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered
when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock
being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which
was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock
accounting to go off).

Endpoint framework:
- Advertise dynamic inbound mapping support in pci-epf-test and
update host pci_endpoint_test to skip doorbell testing if not

platform-owned fixed register windows, and use it for the RK3588
BAR4 DMA ctrl window (Koichiro Den)

The histogram documentation describes the old method of the histogram
triggers using the fn() field of the histogram field structure to process
the field. But due to Spectre mitigation, the function pointer to handle
the fields at runtime caused a noticeable overhead. It was converted over
to a fn_num and hist_fn_call() is now used to call the specific functions
for the fields via a switch statement based on the field's fn_num value.
Update the documentation to reflect this change.

The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only
occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the
preemptirq tracepoints.
As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some
situations (e.g. NMIs).
Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the
dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid
automaton to validate the constraint during event handling.
This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for
interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on
PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without
the preemptirqs tracepoints.

Add a sample monitor to showcase hybrid/timed automata.
The stall monitor identifies tasks stalled for longer than a threshold
and reacts when that happens.
