92cf9f8f7e ksym_tracer: Fix validation of length of access type
Don't take newline into account, otherwise:

 # echo 'pid_max:-w-' > ksym_trace_filter
 # echo -n 'pid_max:rw-' > ksym_trace_filter
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

f088e54712 ksym_tracer: Fix validation of access type
# echo 'pid_max:rw-' > ksym_trace_filter
 # cat ksym_trace_filter
 pid_max:rw-
 # echo 'pid_max:ww-' > ksym_trace_filter
 (should return -EINVAL)
 # cat ksym_trace_filter
 (but it ended up removing filter entry)

be9742e6cb ksym_tracer: Rewrite ksym_trace_filter_read()
Reading ksym_trace_filter gave me some arbitrary characters,
when it should show nothing. It's because buf is not initialized
when there's no filter.

Also reduce stack usage by about 512 bytes.

db59504d89 ksym_tracer: Extract trace entry from struct trace_ksym
struct trace_ksym is used as an entry in hbp list, and is also
used as trace_entry stored in ring buffer.

This is not necessary and is a waste of memory in ring buffer.

There is also a bug that dereferencing field->ksym_hbp in
ksym_trace_output() can be invalid.

73874005cd hw-breakpoints: fix undeclared ksym_tracer_mutex
ksym_tracer_mutex is declared inside an #ifdef CONFIG_PROFILE_KSYM_TRACER
section. This makes it unavailable for the hardware breakpoint tracer if it is
configured without the breakpoint profiler.

This patch fixes the following build error:

kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c: In function ‘ksym_trace_filter_read’:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:226: erreur: ‘ksym_tracer_mutex’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:226: erreur: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:226: erreur: for each function it appears in.)
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c: In function ‘ksym_trace_filter_write’:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:273: erreur: ‘ksym_tracer_mutex’ undeclared (first use in this function)
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c: In function ‘ksym_trace_reset’:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:335: erreur: ‘ksym_tracer_mutex’ undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [kernel/trace/trace_ksym.o] Erreur 1

[ Impact: fix a build error ]

0722db015c hw-breakpoints: ftrace plugin for kernel symbol tracing using HW Breakpoint interfaces
This patch adds an ftrace plugin to detect and profile memory access over kernel
variables. It uses HW Breakpoint interfaces to 'watch memory addresses.
