fgraph: Remove calltime and rettime from generic operations

The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes,
fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that
only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the
calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime
has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it
so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return
function timestamp was still called.

Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph
trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret
structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event
structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of
the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it.

This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

tracing: Add ftrace_partial_regs() for converting ftrace_regs to pt_regs

Add ftrace_partial_regs() which converts the ftrace_regs to pt_regs.
This is for the eBPF which needs this to keep the same pt_regs interface
to access registers.
Thus when replacing the pt_regs with ftrace_regs in fprobes (which is
used by kprobe_multi eBPF event), this will be used.

If the architecture defines its own ftrace_regs, this copies partial
registers to pt_regs and returns it. If not, ftrace_regs is the same as
pt_regs and ftrace_partial_regs() will return ftrace_regs::regs.

More specifically, if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is defined but

In this case, ftrace_regs can be NULL in user callback.

ftrace: Consolidate ftrace_regs accessor functions for archs using pt_regs

Most architectures use pt_regs within ftrace_regs making a lot of the
accessor functions just calls to the pt_regs internally. Instead of
duplication this effort, use a HAVE_ARCH_FTRACE_REGS for architectures
that have their own ftrace_regs that is not based on pt_regs and will
define all the accessor functions, and for the architectures that just use
pt_regs, it will leave it undefined, and the default accessor functions
will be used.

Note, this will also make it easier to add new accessor functions to
ftrace_regs as it will mean having to touch less architectures.

ftrace: Make ftrace_regs abstract from direct use

ftrace_regs was created to hold registers that store information to save
function parameters, return value and stack. Since it is a subset of
pt_regs, it should only be used by its accessor functions. But because
pt_regs can easily be taken from ftrace_regs (on most archs), it is
tempting to use it directly. But when running on other architectures, it
may fail to build or worse, build but crash the kernel!

Instead, make struct ftrace_regs an empty structure and have the
architectures define __arch_ftrace_regs and all the accessor functions
will typecast to it to get to the actual fields. This will help avoid
usage of ftrace_regs directly.

function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.

This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.

To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.

A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.

See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example:

ftrace: Have calltime be saved in the fgraph storage

The calltime field in the shadow stack frame is only used by the function
graph tracer and profiler. But now that there's other users of the function
graph infrastructure, this adds overhead and wastes space on the shadow
stack. Move the calltime to the fgraph data storage, where the function
graph and profiler entry functions will save it in its own graph storage and
retrieve it in its exit functions.

fgraph: Use fgraph data to store subtime for profiler

Instead of having the "subtime" for the function profiler in the

This will keep the limited shadow stack from wasting 8 bytes for something
that is seldom used.

sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script:

```
virtual patch

@r1@
identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos;
identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)";

@@

int func(
- struct ctl_table *
+ const struct ctl_table *
,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos);

```

* Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code
conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler,
xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where
adjusted.

* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
proc_handler migration.

kallsyms: rework symbol lookup return codes

kallsyms: rework symbol lookup return codes

Building with W=1 in some configurations produces a false positive
warning for kallsyms:

kernel/kallsyms.c: In function '__sprint_symbol.isra':
kernel/kallsyms.c:503:17: error: 'strcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict]
503 | strcpy(buffer, name);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This originally showed up while building with -O3, but later started
happening in other configurations as well, depending on inlining
decisions. The underlying issue is that the local 'name' variable is
always initialized to the be the same as 'buffer' in the called functions
that fill the buffer, which gcc notices while inlining, though it could
see that the address check always skips the copy.

The calling conventions here are rather unusual, as all of the internal
lookup functions (bpf_address_lookup, ftrace_mod_address_lookup,
ftrace_func_address_lookup, module_address_lookup and
kallsyms_lookup_buildid) already use the provided buffer and either return
the address of that buffer to indicate success, or NULL for failure,
but the callers are written to also expect an arbitrary other buffer
to be returned.

Rework the calling conventions to return the length of the filled buffer
instead of its address, which is simpler and easier to follow as well
as avoiding the warning. Leave only the kallsyms_lookup() calling conventions
unchanged, since that is called from 16 different functions and
adapting this would be a much bigger change.

function_graph: Implement fgraph_reserve_data() and fgraph_retrieve_data()

Added functions that can be called by a fgraph_ops entryfunc and retfunc to
store state between the entry of the function being traced to the exit of
the same function. The fgraph_ops entryfunc() may call
fgraph_reserve_data() to store up to 32 words onto the task's shadow
ret_stack and this then can be retrieved by fgraph_retrieve_data() called
by the corresponding retfunc().

This will allow for fgraph_ops to do specific features on a per task basis
having a way to maintain state for each task.

function_graph: Have the instances use their own ftrace_ops for filtering

Allow for instances to have their own ftrace_ops part of the fgraph_ops
that makes the funtion_graph tracer filter on the set_ftrace_filter file
of the instance and not the top instance.

This uses the new ftrace_startup_subops(), by using graph_ops as the
"manager ops" that defines the callback function and adds the functions
defined by the filters of the ops for each trace instance. The callback
defined by the manager ops will call the registered fgraph ops that were
added to the fgraph_array.
