Prevent from further ftrace_start_up inbalances so that we avoid
future nop patching omissions with dynamic ftrace.

Perfcounter reports the following stats for a wide system
profiling:
#
# (2364 samples)
#
# Overhead Symbol
# ........ ......
#
15.40% [k] mwait_idle_with_hints
8.29% [k] read_hpet
5.75% [k] ftrace_caller
3.60% [k] ftrace_call
[...]
This snapshot has been taken while neither the function tracer nor
the function graph tracer was running.
With dynamic ftrace, such results show a wrong ftrace behaviour
because all calls to ftrace_caller or ftrace_graph_caller (the patched
calls to mcount) are supposed to be patched into nop if none of those
tracers are running.
The problem occurs after the first run of the function tracer. Once we
launch it a second time, the callsites will never be nopped back,
unless you set custom filters.
For example it happens during the self tests at boot time.
The function tracer selftest runs, and then the dynamic tracing is
tested too. After that, the callsites are left un-nopped.
This is because the reset callback of the function tracer tries to
unregister two ftrace callbacks in once: the common function tracer
and the function tracer with stack backtrace, regardless of which
one is currently in use.
It then creates an unbalance on ftrace_start_up value which is expected
to be zero when the last ftrace callback is unregistered. When it
reaches zero, the FTRACE_DISABLE_CALLS is set on the next ftrace
command, triggering the patching into nop. But since it becomes
unbalanced, ie becomes lower than zero, if the kernel functions
are patched again (as in every further function tracer runs), they
won't ever be nopped back.
Note that ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are still patched back
to ftrace_stub in the off case, but not the callers of ftrace_call
and ftrace_graph_caller. It means that the tracing is well deactivated
but we waste a useless call into every kernel function.
This patch just unregisters the right ftrace_ops for the function
tracer on its reset callback and ignores the other one which is
not registered, fixing the unbalance. The problem also happens
is .30

Currently the output of the ring buffer benchmark/test prints to
the console. This test runs for ten seconds every ten seconds and
ouputs the result after every iteration. This needlessly fills up
the logs.
This patch makes the ring buffer benchmark/test print to the ftrace
buffer using trace_printk. To view the test results, you must examine
the debug/tracing/trace file.

If ftrace_dump_on_oops is set, and an NMI detects a lockup, then it
will need to read from the ring buffer. But the read side of the
ring buffer still takes locks. This patch adds a check on the read
side that if it is in an NMI, then it will disable the ring buffer
and not take any locks.
Reads can still happen on a disabled ring buffer.

The ring buffer must have at least two pages allocated for the
reader page swap to work.
The page count check will miss the case of a zero size passed in.
Even though a zero size ring buffer would probably fail an allocation,
making the min size check for less than two instead of equal to one makes
the code a bit more robust.

The original version of the ring buffer had a hack to map the
page struct that held the pages of the buffer to also be the structure
that the ring buffer would keep the pages in a link list.
This overlap of the page struct was very dangerous and that hack was
removed a while ago.
But there was a check to make sure the buffer_page never became bigger
than the page struct, and would fail the compile if it did. The
check was only meaningful when we had the hack. Now that we have separate
allocated descriptors for the buffer pages, we can remove this check.

A check if "write > BUF_PAGE_SIZE" is done right after a

The index of the event is found by masking PAGE_MASK to it and
subtracting the header size. Currently the header size is calculate
by PAGE_SIZE - BUF_PAGE_SIZE, when we already have a macro
BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE to define it.
If we want to change BUF_PAGE_SIZE to something less than filling
the rest of the page (this is done for debugging), then we break
the algorithm to find the index.

Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is
protected by filter_mutex. This leads to the race:
echo 'bar == 0 || bar == 10' \ |
> sample/filter |
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("bar == 0") |
-> n_preds == 1 |
add_pred("bar == 100") |
-> n_preds == 2 |
| rmmod sample.ko
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("&&") |
-> n_preds == 1 (should be 3) |
Now event->filter->preds is corrupted. An then when filter_match_preds()
is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered.
To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.

The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers.
The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to
get.
The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index
of the last committed write respectively.
The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index
of the last reserved data respectively (non committed).
The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer.
If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward.
The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most
writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where
the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested
writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and
even the commit forward.
The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the
accounting will break.
This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers
to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start
of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter
is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for
races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer
commit should move the pointers anyway.
The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update
is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less
racey than the commit updates.
This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the
code simpler.

ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded area
The ring buffer may now add discarded events when a write passes
the end of a buffer page. Before, a discarded event was only added
when the tracer deliberately created one. The ring buffer benchmark
test does not handle discarded events when it reads the buffer and
fails when it encounters one.
Also fix the increment for large data entries (luckily, the test did
not add any yet).

This a very tight race where an interrupt could come in and not
have enough data to put into the end of a buffer page, and that
it would fail to write and need to go to the next page.
But if this happened when another writer was about to reserver
their data, and that writer has smaller data to reserve, then
it could succeed even though the interrupt moved the tail page.
To pervent that, if we fail to store data, and by subtracting the
amount we reserved we still have room for smaller data, we need
to fill that space with "discarded" data.

It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed.
This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo:
# echo z > tracing_cpumask
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
And subsequent reads/writes to tracing_cpuamsk will access this
already-freed tracing_cpumask, thus may lead to crash.

A future patch is going to modify the memory shrinking code so that
it will make memory allocations to free memory instead of using an
artificial memory shrinking mechanism for that. For this purpose it
is convenient to move swsusp_shrink_memory() from
kernel/power/swsusp.c to kernel/power/snapshot.c, because the new
memory-shrinking code is going to use things that are local to
kernel/power/snapshot.c .

This patch (as1241) renames a bunch of functions in the PM core.
Rather than go through a boring list of name changes, suffice it to
say that in the end we have a bunch of pairs of functions:
device_resume_noirq dpm_resume_noirq
device_resume dpm_resume
device_complete dpm_complete
device_suspend_noirq dpm_suspend_noirq
device_suspend dpm_suspend
device_prepare dpm_prepare
in which device_X does the X operation on a single device and dpm_X
invokes device_X for all devices in the dpm_list.
In addition, the old dpm_power_up and device_resume_noirq have been
combined into a single function (dpm_resume_noirq).
Lastly, dpm_suspend_start and dpm_resume_end are the renamed versions
of the former top-level device_suspend and device_resume routines.

Rename the functions performing "_noirq" dev_pm_ops
operations from device_power_down() and device_power_up()
to device_suspend_noirq() and device_resume_noirq().
The new function names are chosen to show that the functions
are responsible for calling the _noirq() versions to finalize
the suspend/resume operation. The current function names do
not perform power down/up anymore so the names may be misleading.
Global function renames:
- device_power_down() -> device_suspend_noirq()
- device_power_up() -> device_resume_noirq()

Provide for means of extending the perf_counter_attr in a 'natural' way.
We allow growing the structure by appending fields at the end by specifying
the full structure size inside it.
When a new kernel sees a smaller (old) structure, it will 0 pad the tail.
When an old kernel sees a larger (new) structure, it will verify the tail
consists of 0s, otherwise fail.
If we fail due to a size-mismatch, we return -E2BIG and write the kernel's
native attribe size back into the provided structure.
Furthermore, add some attribute verification, so that we'll fail counter
creation when unknown bits are present (PERF_SAMPLE, PERF_FORMAT, or in
the __reserved fields).
(This ABI detail is introduced while keeping the existing syscall ABI.)

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).
Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.
This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.
Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

Impact: API cleanup
For historical reasons, 'bool' parameters must be an int, not a bool.
But there are around 600 users, so a conversion seems like useless churn.
So we use __same_type() to distinguish, and handle both cases.

Impact: cleanup
Rather than hack KPARAM_KMALLOCED into the perm field, separate it out.
Since the perm field was 32 bits and only needs 16, we don't add bloat.

It takes an 'int' for historical reasons, and there are only two
users: simply switch it over to bool.
The other user (uvesafb.c) will get a (harmless-on-x86) warning until
the next patch is applied.
