tweewide: Fix most Shebang lines
The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called:
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it.
All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct
pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then
the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the
function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if
a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it
can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough
information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception
(needed for kprobes).
New config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at
most every event recorded. The "check_buffer()" calls will conflict with
mainline, because I purposely added the check without including the fix that
it caught, which is in mainline. Running a kernel built from the commit of
the added check will trigger it.
Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to
the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
callbacks).
Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do
it for it (saving on that extra function call).
New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all
the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.
This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the
function tracer.
The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work
queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
Various clean ups and last minute fixes.

Now that all callbacks are recursion safe, reverse the meaning of the
RECURSION flag and rename it from RECURSION_SAFE to simply RECURSION.
Now only callbacks that request to have recursion protecting it will
have the added trampoline to do so.
Also remove the outdated comment about "PER_CPU" when determining to
use the ftrace_ops_assist_func.

"A series of patches addressing warnings produced by make htmldocs.
This includes:
- kernel-doc markup fixes
- ReST fixes
- Updates at the build system in order to support newer versions of
the docs build toolchain (Sphinx)
After this series, the number of html build warnings should reduce
significantly, and building with Sphinx 3.1 or later should now be
supported (although it is still recommended to use Sphinx 2.4.4).
As agreed with Jon, I should be sending you a late pull request by the
end of the merge window addressing remaining issues with docs build,
as there are a number of warning fixes that depends on pull requests
that should be happening along the merge window.
The end goal is to have a clean htmldocs build on Kernel 5.10.
PS. It should be noticed that Sphinx 3.0 is not currently supported,
as it lacks support for C domain namespaces. Such feature, needed in
order to document uAPI system calls with Sphinx 3.x, was added only on
Sphinx 3.1"

Merge tag 'kernel-clone-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner:
"During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation
codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only
left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args
calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid
kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static.
This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new
kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the
name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used
in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the
better strategy.
I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle
after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching
quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge
window"

Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as:
# echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event.
It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing
trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to
synthetic events via the trace() action.
With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined:
# echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either
dynamic or static strings:
# echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events
The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as
the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.
[ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes:
I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings
must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be
parsed correctly. ]

As tracepoints are discouraged from being added in a header because it can
cause side effects if other tracepoints are in headers, as well as bloat the
kernel as the trace_<tracepoint>() function is not a small inline, the common
workaround is to add a function call that calls a wrapper function in a
C file that then calls the tracepoint. But as function calls add overhead,
this function should only be called when the tracepoint in question is
enabled. To get around this overhead, a static_branch can be used to only
have the tracepoint wrapper get called when the tracepoint is enabled.
Add a tracepoint_enabled(tp) macro that gets passed the name of the
tracepoint, and this becomes a static_branch that is enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled and is a nop when the tracepoint is disabled.

This will be needed for the people who wants to trace

The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper.
The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.

- The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading
as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file
would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just
disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the
BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading.
This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling
there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set.
- New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced
by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the
function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the
set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse.
- New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.
Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced.
Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be trace if
one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that
is allowed to be traced.
Tracing related features:
- New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.
If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file
is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.
- New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)
Other minor updates and fixes.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New tracing features:
- The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and
reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace
file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to
just disable writes to the ring buffer.
