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"

Pull livepatching updates from Petr Mladek:
- New API to track system state changes done be livepatch callbacks. It
helps to maintain compatibility between livepatches.
- Update Kconfig help text. ORC is another reliable unwinder.
- Disable generic selftest timeout. Livepatch selftests have their own
per-operation fine-grained timeouts.
* tag 'livepatching-for-5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/livepatching/livepatching:
x86/stacktrace: update kconfig help text for reliable unwinders
livepatch: Selftests of the API for tracking system state changes
livepatch: Documentation of the new API for tracking system state changes
livepatch: Allow to distinguish different version of system state changes
livepatch: Basic API to track system state changes
livepatch: Keep replaced patches until post_patch callback is called
selftests/livepatch: Disable the timeout

Since livepatching depends upon ftrace handlers to implement "patched"
code functionality, verify that the ftrace_enabled sysctl value
interacts with livepatch registration as expected. At the same time,
ensure that ftrace_enabled is set and part of the test environment
configuration that is saved and restored when running the selftests.

Livepatch selftests currently save the current dynamic debug config and
tweak it for the selftests. The config is restored at the end. Make the
infrastructure generic, so that more variables can be saved and
restored.

Commit 852c8cbf34d3 ("selftests/kselftest/runner.sh: Add 45 second
timeout per test") introduced a timeout per test. Livepatch tests could
run longer than 45 seconds, especially on slower machines. They do not
hang and they detect if something goes awry with internal accounting.
Better than looking for an arbitrary value, just disable the timeout for
livepatch selftests.

The livepatching self-tests tweak the dynamic debug config to verify
the kernel log during the tests. Enhance set_dynamic_debug() so that
the config changes are restored when the script exits.
Note this functionality needs to keep in sync with:
- dynamic_debug input/output formatting
- functions affected by set_dynamic_debug()
For example, push_dynamic_debug() transforms:
kernel/livepatch/transition.c:530 [livepatch]klp_init_transition =_ "'%s': initializing %s transition\012"
to the following:
file kernel/livepatch/transition.c line 530 =_

Add a skip() message function that stops the test, logs an explanation,
and sets the "skip" return code (4).
Before loading a livepatch self-test kernel module, first verify that
we've built and installed it by running a 'modprobe --dry-run'. This
should catch a few environment issues, including !CONFIG_LIVEPATCH and
!CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH. In these cases, exit gracefully with the new
skip() function.

Adrian reports that 'make -C tools clean' results in removal of the
livepatch selftest shell scripts.
As per the selftest lib.mk file, TEST_PROGS are for test shell scripts,
not TEST_GEN_PROGS. Adjust the livepatch selftest Makefile accordingly.

The livepatch selftest functions.sh library uses "$*" and an
intermediate variable to extract and then pass arguments from function
to function call. The effect of this combination is that the argument
list is flattened into a single argument. Sometimes this is benign, but
in cases like __load_mod(), the modprobe invocation will interpret all
the module parameters as a single parameter.
Drop the intermediate variable and use the "$@" special parameter as
described in the bash manual.
