- cleanups:
. kprobes: Fixes typo in kprobes samples.
. tracing/eprobes: Remove 'break' after return.
- kretprobe/fprobe performance improvements:
. lib: Introduce new `objpool`, which is a high performance lockless
object queue. This uses per-cpu ring array to allocate/release
objects from the pre-allocated object pool. Since the index of ring
array is a 32bit sequential counter, we can retry to push/pop the
object pointer from the ring without lock (as seq-lock does).
. lib: Add an objpool test module to test the functionality and
evaluate the performance under some circumstances.
. kprobes/fprobe: Improve kretprobe and rethook scalability
performance with objpool.
This improves both legacy kretprobe and fprobe exit handler (which
is based on rethook) to be scalable on SMP systems. Even with
8-threads parallel test, it shows a great scalability improvement.
. Remove unneeded freelist.h which is replaced by objpool.
. objpool: Add maintainers entry for the objpool.
. objpool: Fix to remove unused include header lines.

Ensure running fprobe_exit_handler() has finished before
calling rethook_free() in the unregister_fprobe() so that caller can free
the fprobe right after unregister_fprobe().
unregister_fprobe() ensured that all running fprobe_entry/exit_handler()
have finished by calling unregister_ftrace_function() which synchronizes
RCU. But commit 5f81018753 ("fprobe: Release rethook after the ftrace_ops
is unregistered") changed to call rethook_free() after
unregister_ftrace_function(). So call rethook_stop() to make rethook
disabled before unregister_ftrace_function() and ensure it again.
Here is the possible code flow that can call the exit handler after
unregister_fprobe().
------
CPU1 CPU2
call unregister_fprobe(fp)
...
__fprobe_handler()
rethook_hook() on probed function
unregister_ftrace_function()
return from probed function
rethook hooks
find rh->handler == fprobe_exit_handler
call fprobe_exit_handler()
rethook_free():
set rh->handler = NULL;
return from unreigster_fprobe;
call fp->exit_handler() <- (*)
------
(*) At this point, the exit handler is called after returning from
unregister_fprobe().
This fixes it as following;
------

call unregister_fprobe()
...

set rh->handler = NULL;
__fprobe_handler()
rethook_hook() on probed function
unregister_ftrace_function()

Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe
events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit
even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS,
it is not available if the architecture only supports
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not
probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture.
But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events.
The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function
(symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments
so that user can trace the function arguments and return values.
The fprobe events syntax is here;
f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS]
f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS]
E.g.
# echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events
# echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events
# cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1
f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval
# echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable

fprobe_hander and fprobe_kprobe_handler has guarded ftrace recursion
detection but fprobe_exit_handler has not, which possibly introduce
recursive calls if the fprobe exit callback calls any traceable
functions. Checking in fprobe_hander or fprobe_kprobe_handler
is not enough and misses this case.
So add recursion free guard the same way as fprobe_hander. Since
ftrace recursion check does not employ ip(s), so here use entry_ip and
entry_parent_ip the same as fprobe_handler.

Current implementation calls kprobe related functions before doing
ftrace recursion check in fprobe_kprobe_handler, which opens door
to kernel crash due to stack recursion if preempt_count_{add, sub}
is traceable in kprobe_busy_{begin, end}.
Things goes like this without this patch quoted from Steven:
"
fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
kprobe_busy_begin() {
preempt_disable() {
preempt_count_add() { <-- trace
fprobe_kprobe_handler() {
[ wash, rinse, repeat, CRASH!!! ]
"
By refactoring the common part out of fprobe_kprobe_handler and
fprobe_handler and call ftrace recursion detection at the very beginning,
the whole fprobe_kprobe_handler is free from recursion.

unregister_fprobe() fails to unregister the registered if user specifies
FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag.
Moreover, __register_ftrace_function() is possible to change the
ftrace_ops::func, thus we have to check fprobe::ops::saved_func instead.
To check it correctly, it should confirm the fprobe::ops::saved_func is

Introduce FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag for sharing fprobe callback with
kprobes safely from the viewpoint of recursion.
Since the recursion safety of the fprobe (and ftrace) is a bit different
from the kprobes, this may cause an issue if user wants to run the same
code from the fprobe and the kprobes.
The kprobes has per-cpu 'current_kprobe' variable which protects the
kprobe handler from recursion in any case. On the other hand, the fprobe
uses only ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(), which will allow interrupt
context calls another (or same) fprobe during the fprobe user handler is
running.
This is not a matter in cases if the common callback shared among the
kprobes and the fprobe has its own recursion detection, or it can handle
the recursion in the different contexts (normal/interrupt/NMI.)
But if it relies on the 'current_kprobe' recursion lock, it has to check
kprobe_running() and use kprobe_busy_*() APIs.
Fprobe has FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED flag to do this. If your common callback
code will be shared with kprobes, please set FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED
*before* registering the fprobe, like;
fprobe.flags = FPROBE_FL_KPROBE_SHARED;
register_fprobe(&fprobe, "func*", NULL);
This will protect your common callback from the nested call.

Add exit_handler to fprobe. fprobe + rethook allows us to hook the kernel
function return. The rethook will be enabled only if the
fprobe::exit_handler is set.

The fprobe is a wrapper API for ftrace function tracer.
Unlike kprobes, this probes only supports the function entry, but this
can probe multiple functions by one fprobe. The usage is similar, user
will set their callback to fprobe::entry_handler and call
register_fprobe*() with probed functions.
There are 3 registration interfaces,
- register_fprobe() takes filtering patterns of the functin names.
- register_fprobe_ips() takes an array of ftrace-location addresses.
- register_fprobe_syms() takes an array of function names.
The registered fprobes can be unregistered with unregister_fprobe().
e.g.
struct fprobe fp = { .entry_handler = user_handler };
const char *targets[] = { "func1", "func2", "func3"};
...
ret = register_fprobe_syms(&fp, targets, ARRAY_SIZE(targets));
...
unregister_fprobe(&fp);
