With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the
utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that
explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes
to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a
callback to a function within the kernel.

In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command
to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU
idle states, but in fact this doesn't work.

This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device
node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS
constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no
constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency.

This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the
command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can
keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency.

This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle
sysfs.

When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).

But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.

This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.

I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of
inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time.

This patch includes a basic selftest:

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack.  Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.

Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task.  So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see
`trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care
about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry.
However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no
straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe
event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers.  All triggers created
with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram
data.

This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:

    # echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger

to this:

    # echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger

Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which
means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same
names and types.

Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will
produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to
be expected since they share the same data.
