[for-linus][PATCH 2/3] eventfs: Have event files and directories default to parent uid and gid

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Dongliang reported:

  I found that in the latest version, the nodes of tracefs have been
  changed to dynamically created.

  This has caused me to encounter a problem where the gid I specified in
  the mounting parameters cannot apply to all files, as in the following
  situation:

  /data/tmp/events # mount | grep tracefs
  tracefs on /data/tmp type tracefs (rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=3012)

  gid 3012 = readtracefs

  /data/tmp # ls -lh
  total 0
  -r--r-----   1 root readtracefs 0 1970-01-01 08:00 README
  -r--r-----   1 root readtracefs 0 1970-01-01 08:00 available_events

  ums9621_1h10:/data/tmp/events # ls -lh
  total 0
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2023-12-19 00:56 alarmtimer
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2023-12-19 00:56 asoc

  It will prevent certain applications from accessing tracefs properly, I
  try to avoid this issue by making the following modifications.

To fix this, have the files created default to taking the ownership of
the parent dentry unless the ownership was previously set by the user.

[for-linus][PATCH 3/3] tracing / synthetic: Disable events after testing in synth_event_gen_test_init()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The synth_event_gen_test module can be built in, if someone wants to run
the tests at boot up and not have to load them.

The synth_event_gen_test_init() function creates and enables the synthetic
events and runs its tests.

The synth_event_gen_test_exit() disables the events it created and
destroys the events.

If the module is builtin, the events are never disabled. The issue is, the
events should be disable after the tests are run. This could be an issue
if the rest of the boot up tests are enabled, as they expect the events to
be in a known state before testing. That known state happens to be
disabled.

When CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST=y and CONFIG_EVENT_TRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y
a warning will trigger:

 Running tests on trace events:
 Testing event create_synth_test:
 Enabled event during self test!

This is because the synth_event_gen_test_init() left the synthetic events
that it created enabled. By having it disable them after testing, the
other selftests will run fine.
