There are a handful of loops that go from 0 to nr_irqs and use
get_irq_desc() on them. These would allocate all the irq_desc
entries, regardless of the need for them.
Use the smarter for_each_irq_desc() iterator that will only iterate
over the present ones.

Vatsa noticed rq->clock going funny and tracked it down to an update_rq_clock()
outside a rq->lock section.
This is a problem because things like double_rq_lock() update the rq->clock
value for both rqs. Therefore disabling interrupts isn't strong enough.

This patch replaces the local_irq_save/restore with preempt_disable/
enable. This allows for interrupts to enter while recording.
To write to the ring buffer, you must reserve data, and then
commit it. During this time, an interrupt may call a trace function
that will also record into the buffer before the commit is made.
The interrupt will reserve its entry after the first entry, even
though the first entry did not finish yet.
The time stamp delta of the interrupt entry will be zero, since
in the view of the trace, the interrupt happened during the
first field anyway.
Locking still takes place when the tail/write moves from one page
to the next. The reader always takes the locks.
A new page pointer is added, called the commit. The write/tail will
always point to the end of all entries. The commit field will
point to the last committed entry. Only this commit entry may
update the write time stamp.
The reader can only go up to the commit. It cannot go past it.
If a lot of interrupts come in during a commit that fills up the
buffer, and it happens to make it all the way around the buffer
back to the commit, then a warning is printed and new events will
be dropped.

My original patch had a compile bug when NUMA was configured. I
referenced cpu when it should have been cpu_buffer->cpu.
Ingo quickly fixed this bug by replacing cpu with 'i' because that
was the loop counter. Unfortunately, the 'i' was the counter of
pages, not CPUs. This caused a crash when the number of pages allocated
for the buffers exceeded the number of pages, which would usually
be the case.

After some initcall traces, some initcall names may be inconsistent.
That's because these functions will disappear from the .init section
and also their name from the symbols table.
So we have to copy the name of the function in a buffer large enough
during the trace appending. It is not costly for the ring_buffer because
the number of initcall entries is commonly not really large.

With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make
ftrace a little more light weight.
This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into
preempt_disable/enable. The original preempt count in a lot of cases
has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly.
Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway.
This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit
more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must
still protect from reentrancy.
Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable.
It must do the following:
resched = need_resched();
preempt_disable_notrace();
[...]
if (resched)
preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace();
else
preempt_enable_notrace();
The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the
preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead
us into a recursive failure.
If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we
should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most
likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule
function.
If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched
flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the
end will catch that for us.

The mmiotrace map had a bug that would typecast the entry from
the trace to the wrong type. That is a known danger of C typecasts,
there's absolutely zero checking done on them.
Help that problem a bit by using a GCC extension to implement a
type filter that restricts the types that a trace record can be
cast into, and by adding a dynamic check (in debug mode) to verify
the type of the entry.
This patch adds a macro to assign all entries of ftrace using the type
of the variable and checking the entry id. The typecasts are now done
in the macro for only those types that it knows about, which should
be all the types that are allowed to be read from the tracer.

The old "lock always" scheme had issues with lockdep, and was not very
efficient anyways.
This patch does a new design to be partially lockless on writes.
Writes will add new entries to the per cpu pages by simply disabling
interrupts. When a write needs to go to another page than it will
grab the lock.
A new "read page" has been added so that the reader can pull out a page
from the ring buffer to read without worrying about the writer writing over
it. This allows us to not take the lock for all reads. The lock is
now only taken when a read needs to go to a new page.
This is far from lockless, and interrupts still need to be disabled,
but it is a step towards a more lockless solution, and it also
solves a lot of the issues that were noticed by the first conversion
of ftrace to the ring buffers.
Note: the ring_buffer_{un}lock API has been removed.

Now that the underlining ring buffer for ftrace now hold variable length
entries, we can take advantage of this by only storing the size of the
actual event into the buffer. This happens to increase the number of

This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that
hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use.
The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure:
struct ring_buffer_event {
u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27;
u32 array[];
};
The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte
aligned inside the buffer.
There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only
the data type is exported to the interface users).
RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end
of a buffer page.
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events
is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another
32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to
help keep the buffer timestamps in sync.
RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data.
The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be
4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a
max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28
bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the
data load and the len field is set to zero.
Example, data size of 7 bytes:
type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
len = 2
time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty>
This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.
An event with 82 bytes of data:
type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
len = 0
time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment)
array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty>
The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct).
82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.
Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following
functions to gain access to the event table, since the
ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future.
ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.
This is the size of the memory used to record this
event, and not the size of the data pay load.
ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event
This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.
Note: Even though this is in the header, there should
be no reason to access this directly, accept
for debugging.
ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event
This is the function to use to get the actual data
from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the
data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to
another location otherwise you risk it being written
over in the buffer.
ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer.
ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer.
ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between
overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will
overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will
throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the
producer. The consumer/producer is the default.
ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu
buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that
the buffer is not being used while this is happening.
This requirement may go away but do not count on it.
ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an
entry on the buffer to write to.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to
the buffer.
ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and
consume it. That is, this function increments the head
pointer.
ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer.
For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue
a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator
to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.
But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which
is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want
to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not
disable the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables
the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator.
ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it.
ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning
of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end
of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.
Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs.
ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty
ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty
ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a
cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you
want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one
cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.
Ftrace max latencies use this.
ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty.
ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty.
ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only)
ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only)
ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers.
ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer.
ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap.
ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer
ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp
into nanosecs.
I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from
the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later
time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

It is possible that the testing thread in the ftrace wakeup test does not
run before we stop the trace. This will cause the trace to fail since nothing
will be in the buffers.
This patch adds a small wait in the wakeup test to allow for the woken task
to run and be traced.

When the boot tracer can't handle an entry output, it returns 1.
It should return 0 to relay on other output functions.

The tracing engine resets the ring buffer and the tracers touch it
too during self-tests. These self-tests happen during tracers registering
and work against boot tracing which is logging initcalls.
We have to disable tracing self-tests if the boot-tracer is selected.

The tracing engine have now to be init in early_initcall to set the
boot tracer. Only the debugfs settings will be initialized at
fs_initcall time.

Add the boot/initcall tracer.
It's primary purpose is to be able to trace the initcalls.
It is intended to be used with scripts/bootgraph.pl after some small
improvements.
Note that it is not active after its init. To avoid tracing (and so
crashing) before the whole tracing engine init, you have to explicitly
call start_boot_trace() after do_pre_smp_initcalls() to enable it.
