Fix boottime kprobe events to add multiple events even if one fails
and report probe generation failures.
As an example, when we try to set multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like this:
ftrace.event.kprobes.vfsevents {
probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2,,
!error! not reported;?", // leads to error
"vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}
this will not work like expected. After commit
da0f1f4167e3af69e1d8b32d6d65195ddd2bfb64 ("tracing/boottime:
Fix kprobe event API usage"), the function
trace_boot_add_kprobe_event will not produce any error message,
aborting the function and stopping subsequent probes from getting
installed when adding a probe fails at kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start.
Furthermore, probes continue when kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end fails
(and kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start did not fail). In this case the
function even returns successfully when the last call to
kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end is successful.
The behaviour of reporting and aborting after failures is not
consistent.
The function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event now continues even when
one of the multiple events fails. Each failure is now reported
individually. Since the function can only return one result to the
caller, the function returns now the last failure (or none, if
nothing fails).

Why the double signed off by?
Masami, I'm fine with this, but needs your review.

We are a group of students from Leibniz University Hannover and
this patch is part of a project of ours. That's why both of us
signed this off.
Should we have added Masami to Cc? He didn't appear in the
get_maintainer script.

Usually, if there's two people signed off, there's a comment in the
change log that states the other person worked on the patch as well.

Yeah, we need to update the MAINTAINER's file to fix that. Not your
fault.

Ah, good catch!
Indeed, I missed the error message.

OK. And for more consistency, we should abort the loop if we hit any
error instead of continuing, because if trace_boot_add_kprobe_event()
returns an error code, the rest of event settings are skipped.
(See trace_boot_init_one_event())

Fix boottime kprobe events to report and abort after each failure when
adding probes.
As an example, when we try to set multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like this:
ftrace.event.kprobes.vfsevents {
probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2,,
!error! not reported;?", // leads to error
"vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}
This will not work as expected. After
commit da0f1f4167e3af69e ("tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe event API usage"),
the function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event will not produce any error
message when adding a probe fails at kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start.
Furthermore, we continue to add probes when kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end fails
(and kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start did not fail). In this case the function
even returns successfully when the last call to kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end
is successful.
The behaviour of reporting and aborting after failures is not
consistent.
The function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event now reports each failure and
stops adding probes immediately.
