[PATCH 5.15,5.10,5.4,4.19 0/2] Fix warning when tracing with large filenames

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

The warning described on patch "tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to
handle Sentinel1 and docker together" can be triggered with a perf probe on
do_execve with a large path. As PATH_MAX is larger than PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE
(2048 before the patch), the warning will trigger.

The fix was included in 5.16, so backporting to 5.15 and earlier LTS
kernels. Also included is a patch that better describes the attempted
allocation size.

[PATCH 5.15,5.10,5.4,4.19 1/2] tracing: Show size of requested perf buffer

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2@gentoo.org>

commit a90afe8d020da9298c98fddb19b7a6372e2feb45 upstream.

If the perf buffer isn't large enough, provide a hint about how large it
needs to be for whatever is running.

[PATCH 5.15,5.10 2/2] tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to handle Sentinel1 and docker together

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2@gentoo.org>

commit e531e90b5ab0f7ce5ff298e165214c1aec6ed187 upstream.

Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based
tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd.
The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough.

Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get
"perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated
up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all,
so below is the trace for 6K.

I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this
is a good starting point.
