Minimal support for interacting with dynamic events, trace_event and
ftrace. Core outline of flow between user process, ioctl and trace_event
APIs.

You really want to allow field sizes to be larger than a page?

Still need a comment here that states:

	/*
	 * The refs->events array is protected by RCU, and new items may be
	 * added. But the user retrieved from indexing into the events array
	 * shall be immutable while the file is opened.
	 */

Or something like that, because once again, I had to figure out how this
all worked. It's not obvious.

Probably also should have a comment here that states that this is racy, but
we don't care. That is, the enabled can be less than 1 after the if
statement, but that means it was just disabled and it's OK if a few events
slip in after it is.

Use:

	size = struct_size(refs, events, count + 1);

This looks totally wrong. What is RCU protecting here?

How can't refs->events not change here?

Shouldn't reg_mutex be held throughout this function?

I picked this based on your previous comments that it's likely a bug if
something gets quite large. I'm happy with any upper limit, we will be
using __rel_loc now that it's available for our large data.

Would you prefer this to be maybe like 1024 or 2048? I don't know if
some user scenario will require a large field or what is a realistic
upper bound for those scenarios. So no hard data to base this off of
from my side.

There seems to be a timing window where refs gets changed on one core
and release happens immediately on another. The release seems to be able
to read an old version of that value unless some barrier is imposed.

I've kept with rcu_read_lock_sched() vs READ_ONCE here to try to make
that clear.

Do you agree that the timing window is possible?

refs lifetime is limited to file lifetime. When release is called no
other reference to the file exists.

So the events array cannot be change since it's isolated to that single
file instance (it's not shared).

refs->events is the local array so when user mode writes to an event it
uses the index of the events in the first 4 bytes.

The underlying event within the refs->events cannot close down since
it's ref counted, which happens below as quoted.

The comment you want me to add higher up in the thread will likely help
bring clarity here. Perhaps I'll add another comment at this level as
well.
