[ Upstream commit 708e0ada1916be765b7faa58854062f2bc620bbf ]

In setup_load_info(), info-&gt;name (which contains the name of the module,
mostly used for early logging purposes before the module gets set up)
gets unconditionally assigned if .modinfo is missing despite the fact
that there is an if (!info-&gt;name) check near the end of the function.
Avoid assigning a placeholder string to info-&gt;name if .modinfo doesn't
exist, so that we can fall back to info-&gt;mod-&gt;name later on.

[ Upstream commit bf08949cc8b98b7d1e20cfbba169a5938d42dae8 ]

While running kprobe module test, find_module_all() caused
a suspicious RCU usage warning.

This is because list_for_each_entry_rcu(modules) is called
without rcu_read_lock(). This is safe because the module_mutex
is locked.

Pass lockdep_is_held(&amp;module_mutex) to the list_for_each_entry_rcu()
to suppress this warning, This also fixes similar issue in
mod_find() and each_symbol_section().

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove code I accidentally applied when doing a minor fix up to a
   patch, and then using "git commit -a --amend", which pulled in some
   other changes I was playing with.

 - Remove an used variable in trace_events_inject code

 - Fix function graph tracer when it traces a ftrace direct function.
   It will now ignore tracing a function that has a ftrace direct
   tramploine attached. This is needed for eBPF to use the ftrace direct
   code.

When pulling in Divya Indi's patch, I made a minor fix to remove unneeded
braces. I commited my fix up via "git commit -a --amend". Unfortunately, I
didn't realize I had some changes I was testing in the module code, and
those changes were applied to Divya's patch as well.

This reverts the accidental updates to the module code.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
     function.

     As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
     all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
     live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
     ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
     will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
     ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
     with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.

   - New register_ftrace_direct().

     As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
     the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
     trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
     trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
     patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
     keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
     allow for security auditing.

   - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.

     Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
     tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
     buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
     users from writing over their data.

   - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
     seq_buf usage.

   - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
     to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
     tracers.

   - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
     and friends.

   - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)

   - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
     system call trace events.

  This along with small clean ups and fixes"

The race above leads to modprobe hanging forever on loading
a module.

Error paths on loading module call wake_up_all(&amp;module_wq) after
freeing module, so let's do the same on straight module unload.

A trace array can be destroyed from userspace or kernel. Verify if the
trace array exists before proceeding to destroy/remove it.

<title>module/ftrace: handle patchable-function-entry</title>

When using patchable-function-entry, the compiler will record the
callsites into a section named "__patchable_function_entries" rather
than "__mcount_loc". Let's abstract this difference behind a new
FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION, so that architectures don't have to handle this
explicitly (e.g. with custom module linker scripts).

As parisc currently handles this explicitly, it is fixed up accordingly,
with its custom linker script removed. Since FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION is
only defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is selected, the parisc module loading
code is updated to only use the definition in that case. When
DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not selected, modules shouldn't have this section, so
this removes some redundant work in that case.

To make sure that this is keep up-to-date for modules and the main
kernel, a comment is added to vmlinux.lds.h, with the existing ifdeffery
simplified for legibility.

I built parisc generic-{32,64}bit_defconfig with DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled,
and verified that the section made it into the .ko files for modules.
