Linus,

*** NOTE ***
This has a conflict with your current tree. I did a merge and pushed a
branch to my tree "merge/upstream". The file kernel/trace/trace.c has a
conflict and kernel/trace/trace.h has a mis-merge (adds a prototype
that was already added to the header by an upstream commit).
*** NOTE ***

tracing updates for v7.1:

- Fix printf format warning for bprintf

sunrpc uses a trace_printk() that triggers a printf warning during the
compile. Move the __printf() attribute around for when debugging is not
enabled the warning will go away.

- Remove redundant check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in event_filter_write()

The FREED flag is checked in the call to event_file_file() and then
checked again right afterward, which is unneeded.

- Clean up event_file_file() and event_file_data() helpers

These helper functions played a different role in the past, but now with
eventfs, the READ_ONCE() isn't needed. Simplify the code a bit and also
add a warning to event_file_data() if the file or its data is not present.

- Remove updating file->private_data in tracing open

All access to the file private data is handled by the helper functions,
which do not use file->private_data. Stop updating it on open.

- Show ENUM names in function arguments via BTF in function tracing

When showing the function arguments when func-args option is set for
function tracing, if one of the arguments is found to be an enum, show the
name of the enum instead of its number.

- Add new trace_call__##name() API for tracepoints

Tracepoints are enabled via static_branch() blocks, where when not
enabled, there's only a nop that is in the code where the execution will
just skip over it. When tracing is enabled, the nop is converted to a
direct jump to the tracepoint code. Sometimes more calculations are
required to be performed to update the parameters of the tracepoint. In
this case, trace_##name##_enabled() is called which is a static_branch()
that gets enabled only when the tracepoint is enabled. This allows the
extra calculations to also be skipped by the nop:

if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
x = bar();
trace_foo(x);
}

Where the x=bar() is only performed when foo is enabled. The problem with
this approach is that there's now two static_branch() calls. One for
checking if the tracepoint is enabled, and then again to know if the
tracepoint should be called. The second one is redundant.

Introduce trace_call__foo() that will call the foo() tracepoint directly
without doing a static_branch():

if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
x = bar();
trace_call__foo();
}

- Update various locations to use the new trace_call__##name() API

- Move snapshot code out of trace.c

Cleaning up trace.c to not be a "dump all", move the snapshot code out of
it and into a new trace_snapshot.c file.

- Clean up some "%*.s" to "%*s"

- Allow boot kernel command line options to be called multiple times

Have options like:

ftrace_filter=foo ftrace_filter=bar ftrace_filter=zoo

Equal to:

ftrace_filter=foo,bar,zoo

- Fix ipi_raise event CPU field to be a CPU field

The ipi_raise target_cpus field is defined as a __bitmask(). There is now a
__cpumask() field definition. Update the field to use that.

- Have hist_field_name() use a snprintf() and not a series of strcat()

It's safer to use snprintf() that a series of strcat().

- Fix tracepoint regfunc balancing

A tracepoint can define a "reg" and "unreg" function that gets called
before the tracepoint is enabled, and after it is disabled respectively.
But on error, after the "reg" func is called and the tracepoint is not
enabled, the "unreg" function is not called to tear down what the "reg"
function performed.

- Fix output that shows what histograms are enabled

Event variables are displayed incorrectly in the histogram output.

Instead of "sched.sched_wakeup.$var", it is showing
"$sched.sched_wakeup.var" where the '$' is in the incorrect location.

- Some other simple cleanups.
