We are starting to deploy mmap_lock tracepoint monitoring across our
fleet and the early results showed that these tracepoints are consuming
significant amount of CPUs in kernfs_path_from_node when enabled.
It seems like the kernel is trying to resolve the cgroup path in the
fast path of the locking code path when the tracepoints are enabled. In
addition for some application their metrics are regressing when
monitoring is enabled.
The cgroup path resolution can be slow and should not be done in the
fast path. Most userspace tools, like bpftrace, provides functionality
to get the cgroup path from cgroup id, so let's just trace the cgroup
id and the users can use better tools to get the path in the slow path.

Since 7d6be67cfdd4 ("mm: mmap_lock: replace get_memcg_path_buf() with
on-stack buffer") we use trace_mmap_lock_reg()/unreg() only to maintain an
atomic reg_refcount which is checked to avoid performing
get_mm_memcg_path() in case none of the tracepoints using it is enabled.
This can be achieved directly by putting all the work needed for the
tracepoint behind the trace_mmap_lock_##type##_enabled(), as suggested by
Documentation/trace/tracepoints.rst and with the following advantages:
- uses the tracepoint's static key instead of evaluating a branch
- the check tracepoint specific, not shared by all of them
- we can get rid of trace_mmap_lock_reg()/unreg() completely
Thus use the trace_..._enabled() check and remove unnecessary code.

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.
This means that with:
__string(field, mystring)
Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.
There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:
git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
mv /tmp/test-file $a;
done
I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.
Note, the same updates will need to be done for:
__assign_str_len()
__assign_rel_str()
__assign_rel_str_len()
I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

By using DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS and TRACE_EVENT_FN, we can save a lot of
space from duplicate code.

Ftrace core will add newline automatically on printing, so using it in
TP_printkcreates a blank line.

The goal of these tracepoints is to be able to debug lock contention
issues. This lock is acquired on most (all?) mmap / munmap / page fault
operations, so a multi-threaded process which does a lot of these can
experience significant contention.
We trace just before we start acquisition, when the acquisition returns
(whether it succeeded or not), and when the lock is released (or
downgraded). The events are broken out by lock type (read / write).
The events are also broken out by memcg path. For container-based
workloads, users often think of several processes in a memcg as a single
logical "task", so collecting statistics at this level is useful.
The end goal is to get latency information. This isn't directly included
in the trace events. Instead, users are expected to compute the time
between "start locking" and "acquire returned", using e.g. synthetic
events or BPF. The benefit we get from this is simpler code.
Because we use tracepoint_enabled() to decide whether or not to trace,
this patch has effectively no overhead unless tracepoints are enabled at
runtime. If tracepoints are enabled, there is a performance impact, but
how much depends on exactly what e.g. the BPF program does.
