trace_bprintk()
Impact: faster and lighter tracing
Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.
Some changes result of this:
- Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c
- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.
- change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
developers.
- etc...
V2:
- Rebase against last changes
- Fix mispell on the changelog
V3:
- Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h)

Impact: add a generic printk() for tracing, like trace_printk()
trace_bprintk() uses the infrastructure to record events on ring_buffer.
[ fweisbec@gmail.com: ported to latest -tip, made it work if
!CONFIG_MODULES, never free the format strings from modules
because we can't keep track of them and conditionnaly create
the ftrace format strings section (reported by Steven Rostedt) ]

Impact: save on memory for tracing
Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry,
struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary
event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events.
A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it.
So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure
is for this purpose.

This is an architecture independant synchronization around kernel text
modifications through use of a global mutex.
A mutex has been chosen so that kprobes, the main user of this, can sleep
during memory allocation between the memory read of the instructions it
must replace and the memory write of the breakpoint.
Other user of this interface: immediate values.
Paravirt and alternatives are always done when SMP is inactive, so there
is no need to use locks.

Impact: cleanup
The functions tracing_start/tracing_stop have been moved to kernel.h.
These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use
when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from
user space.
tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like
suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the
system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from
doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit
more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface
back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland
can not start tracing.
What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off.
These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit).
These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers
don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL
from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function.
Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit.
In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off())
or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when
a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it
hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart
tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on).
This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how
to use them.

Impact: decrease hangs risks with the graph tracer on slow systems
Since the function graph tracer can spend too much time on timer
interrupts, it's better now to use the more lightweight local
clock. Anyway, the function graph traces are more reliable on a
per cpu trace.

The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms.
E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and
AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working
__builtin_return_address. This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx
macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence.
Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in
<linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an
empty one for free.

Impact: standardize IO on cached ops
On modern CPUs it is almost always a bad idea to use non-temporal stores,
as the regression in this commit has shown it:
30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
The kernel simply has no good information about whether using non-temporal
stores is a good idea or not - and trying to add heuristics only increases
complexity and inserts fragility.
The regression on cached write()s took very long to be found - over two
years. So dont take any chances and let the hardware decide how it makes
use of its caches.
The only exception is drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: there were we are
absolutely sure that another entity (the GPU) will pick up the dirty
data immediately and that the CPU will not touch that data before the
GPU will.
Also, keep the _nocache() primitives to make it easier for people to
experiment with these details. There may be more clear-cut cases where
non-cached copies can be used, outside of filemap.c.

free_uid() and free_user_ns() are corecursive when CONFIG_USER_SCHED=n,
but free_user_ns() is called from free_uid() by way of uid_hash_remove(),
which requires uidhash_lock to be held. free_user_ns() then calls
free_uid() to complete the destruction.
Fix this by deferring the destruction of the user_namespace.

This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language. ;-)
The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.
This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().
Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.
In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.
Changes since v4:
o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
be less emotional. ;-)
Changes since v3:
o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.
Changes since v2:
o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
a grace period.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
the system is still in early boot.
This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
on a single CPU after booting is complete.
o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
being but one online CPU.
Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.
