Currently, the event probes save the type of the event they are attached
to when recording the event. For example:
# echo 'e:switch sched/sched_switch prev_state=$prev_state prev_prio=$prev_prio next_pid=$next_pid next_prio=$next_prio' > dynamic_events
# cat events/eprobes/switch/format
name: switch
ID: 1717
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:unsigned int __probe_type; offset:8; size:4; signed:0;
field:u64 prev_state; offset:12; size:8; signed:0;
field:u64 prev_prio; offset:20; size:8; signed:0;
field:u64 next_pid; offset:28; size:8; signed:0;
field:u64 next_prio; offset:36; size:8; signed:0;
print fmt: "(%u) prev_state=0x%Lx prev_prio=0x%Lx next_pid=0x%Lx next_prio=0x%Lx", REC->__probe_type, REC->prev_state, REC->prev_prio, REC->next_pid, REC->next_prio
The __probe_type adds 4 bytes to every event.
One of the reasons for creating eprobes is to limit what is traced in an
event to be able to limit what is written into the ring buffer. Having
this redundant 4 bytes to every event takes away from this.
The event that is recorded can be retrieved from the event probe itself,
that is available when the trace is happening. For user space tools, it
could simply read the dynamic_event file to find the event they are for.
So there is really no reason to write this information into the ring
buffer for every event.

The name of the func() callback on event_trigger_ops is too generic
and is easily confused with other callbacks with that name, so change
it to something that reflects its actual purpose.
In this case, the main purpose of the callback is to implement an
event trigger, so call it trigger() instead.
Also add some more documentation to event_trigger_ops describing the
callbacks a bit better.

In this case, the main purpose of the callback is to parse an event

The eprobes open code the reserving of the event on the ring buffer for
ftrace instead of using the ftrace event wrappers, which means that it
doesn't get affected by the filters, breaking the filtering logic on user
space.

When the syscall trace points are not configured in, the kselftests for
ftrace will try to attach an event probe (eprobe) to one of the system
call trace points. This triggered a WARNING, because the failure only
expects to see memory issues. But this is not the only failure. The user
may attempt to attach to a non existent event, and the kernel must not
warn about it.

When an event probe is to be removed via the API that created it via the
dynamic events, an -ENOENT error is returned.
This is because the removal of the event probe does not expect to see the
event system and name that the event probe is attached to, even though
that's part of the API to create it. As the removal of probes is to use
the same API as they are created.
In fact, the removal is not consistent with the kprobes and uprobes
removal. Fix that by allowing various ways to remove the eprobe.
The eprobe is created with:
e:[GROUP/]NAME SYSTEM/EVENT [OPTIONS]
Have it get removed by echoing in the following into dynamic_events:
# Remove all eprobes with NAME
echo '-:NAME' >> dynamic_events
# Remove a specific eprobe
echo '-:GROUP/NAME' >> dynamic_events
echo '-:GROUP/NAME SYSTEM/EVENT' >> dynamic_events
echo '-:NAME SYSTEM/EVENT' >> dynamic_events
echo '-:GROUP/NAME SYSTEM/EVENT OPTIONS' >> dynamic_events
echo '-:NAME SYSTEM/EVENT OPTIONS' >> dynamic_events

There are two bugs in this code. First, if the kzalloc() fails it leads
to a NULL dereference of "ep" on the next line. Second, if the
alloc_event_probe() function returns an error then it leads to an
error pointer dereference in the caller.

A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached
to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user
can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint
arguments will be printed and how to print them.
An event probe is created by writing configuration string in
'dynamic_events' ftrace file:
e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe
-:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe
Where:
SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used.
ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used.
SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory.
EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory.
FETCHARGS - Arguments:
<name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print
it as given TYPE with given name. Supported
types are:
(u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type
(x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types
"string", "ustring" and bitfield.
Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the
file that will be opened:
echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events
A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It
can be deleted with:
echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events
Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can
be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe
can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.
