The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce
different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that
the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe
zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use
the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should
not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.

This patch adds __print_symbolic which is similar to __print_flags but
works for an enumeration type instead. That is, there is only a one to one
mapping between the values and the symbols. When a match is made, then
it is printed, otherwise the hex value is outputed.

Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer
to display names of bits in a flags variable.
Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO,
assuming that FOO is bit 1, BAR is bit 6 and GOO is bit 7.
Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context
switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.
[
v2 changes include:
Frederic Weisbecker's idea of using a mask instead of bits,
thus we can output GFP_KERNEL instead of GPF_WAIT|GFP_IO|GFP_FS.
Li Zefan's idea of allowing the caller of __print_flags to add their
own delimiter (or no delimiter) where we can get for file permissions
rwx instead of r|w|x.

v3 changes:
Christoph Hellwig's idea of using an array instead of va_args.

Other parts of the kernel may need to be able to enable or disable
specific events. Especially parts that create trace events.

Replace the current event parser hack with a better one. Filters are
no longer specified predicate by predicate, but all at once and can
use parens and any of the following operators:
numeric fields:
==, !=, <, <=, >, >=
string fields:
==, !=
predicates can be combined with the logical operators:
&&, ||
examples:
"common_preempt_count > 4" > filter
"((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter
If there was an error, the erroneous string along with an error
message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.:
((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash
^
parse_error: Field not found
Currently the caret for an error always appears at the beginning of
the filter; a real position should be used, but the error message
should be useful even without it.
To clear a filter, '0' can be written to the filter file.
Filters can also be set or cleared for a complete subsystem by writing
the same filter as would be written to an individual event to the
filter file at the root of the subsytem. Note however, that if any
event in the subsystem lacks a field specified in the filter being
set, the set will fail and all filters in the subsytem are
automatically cleared. This change from the previous version was made
because using only the fields that happen to exist for a given event
would most likely result in a meaningless filter.
Because the logical operators are now implemented as predicates, the
maximum number of predicates in a filter was increased from 8 to 16.

The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields(). Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros. If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

Create a new event_filter object, and move the pred-related members
out of the call and subsystem objects and into the filter object - the
details of the filter implementation don't need to be exposed in the
call and subsystem in any case, and it will also help make the new
parser implementation a little cleaner.

With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event
counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily
with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain
trace events.
This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow
searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if
over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical
kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number
of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only
one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events.
Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined
by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use.
This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to
2 bytes (65,536 events).
It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit.

struct trace_entry->type is unsigned char, while trace event's id is
int type, thus for a event with id >= 256, it's entry->type is cast
to (id % 256), and then we can't see the trace output of this event.

Impact: allow modules to add TRACE_EVENTS on load
This patch adds the final hooks to allow modules to use the TRACE_EVENT
macro. A notifier and a data structure are used to link the TRACE_EVENTs
defined in the module to connect them with the ftrace event tracing system.
It also adds the necessary automated clean ups to the trace events when a
module is removed.

Impact: makes it possible to define events in modules
The events are created by reading down the section that they are linked
in by the macros. But this is not scalable to modules. This patch converts
the manipulations to use a global link list, and on boot up it adds
the items in the section to the list.
This change will allow modules to add their tracing events to the list as
well.
Note, this change alone does not permit modules to use the TRACE_EVENT macros,
but the change is needed for them to eventually do so.

In preparation to allowing trace events to happen in modules, we need
to move some of the local declarations in the kernel/trace directory
into include/linux.
This patch simply moves the declarations and performs no context changes.
