Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The
output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format
file. A binary reader of the ring buffer needs to know more about
how the fields are broken up.
This patch adds to the ftrace structure macros new fields to
describe the structures inside a structure.

The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their
formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in
debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand.
This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync
with what is actually shown.
This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build
the structures so that their formats can be automated and this
will keep the structures in sync with what users can see.
This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further
patches will build off of this to automate the format files.

__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever
as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead,
__start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end)
so that the space is reclaimed after init.
__start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion
of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared
'__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init.
__start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside
the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is*
read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to
MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA.
This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

The state of the function pair tracing_stop()/tracing_start() is
correctly considered when tracer data are updated. However, the global
and externally accessible variable tracing_max_latency is always updated
- even when tracing is stopped.
The update should only occur, if tracing was not stopped.

The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry.

While debugging something with the function_graph tracer, I found the
need to see the preempt count of the traces. Unfortunately, since
the function graph tracer has its own output formatting, it does not
honor the latency-format option.
This patch makes the function_graph tracer honor the latency-format
option, but still keeps control of the output. But now we have the
same details that the latency-format supplies.

The dynamic function tracer relys on the macro P6_NOP5 always being
an atomic NOP. If for some reason it is changed to be two operations
(like a nop2 nop3) it can faults within the kernel when the function
tracer modifies the code.
This patch adds a comment to note that the P6_NOPs are expected to
be atomic. This will hopefully prevent anyone from changing that.

The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer.
It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following
is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU
before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions
on the other CPU.
To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs
a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear
it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up.
By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about
the task being freed as it checks its cpu.
Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When
a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this
lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking
this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just
serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused
major issues on that box. It would even lockup.
This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task
tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the
probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs
to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that
holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since
it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

rb_buffer_peek() operates with struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer
only. Thus, instead of passing variables buffer and cpu it is better
to use cpu_buffer directly. This also reduces the risk of races since
cpu_buffer is not calculated twice.

In ext2_rename(), dir_page is acquired through ext2_dotdot(). It is
then released through ext2_set_link() but only if old_dir != new_dir.
Failing that, the pkmap reference count is never decremented and the
page remains pinned forever. Repeat that a couple times with highmem
pages and all pkmap slots get exhausted, and every further kmap() calls
end up stalling on the pkmap_map_wait queue at which point the whole
system comes to a halt.

The whole write-room thing is something that is up to the _caller_ to
worry about, not the pty layer itself. The total buffer space will
still be limited by the buffering routines themselves, so there is no
advantage or need in having pty_write() artificially limit the size
somehow.
And what happened was that the caller (the n_tty line discipline, in
this case) may have verified that there is room for 2 bytes to be
written (for NL -> CRNL expansion), and it used to then do those writes
as two single-byte writes. And if the first byte written (CR) then
caused a new tty buffer to be allocated, pty_space() may have returned
zero when trying to write the second byte (LF), and then incorrectly
failed the write - leading to a lost newline character.
This should finally fix

When translating CR to CRNL in the n_tty line discipline, we did it as
two tty_put_char() calls. Which works, but is stupid, and has caused
problems before too with bad interactions with the write_room() logic.
The generic USB serial driver had that problem, for example.
Now the pty layer had similar issues after being moved to the generic
tty buffering code (in commit d945cb9cce20ac7143c2de8d88b187f62db99bdc:
"pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering logic").
So stop doing the silly separate two writes, and do it as a single write
instead. That's what the n_tty layer already does for the space
expansion of tabs (XTABS), and it means that we'll now always have just
a single write for the CRNL to match the single 'tty_write_room()' test,
which hopefully means that the next time somebody screws up buffering,
it won't cause weeks of debugging.

Tom Horsley reports that his debugger hangs when it tries to read
/proc/pid_of_tracee/maps, this happens since
"mm_for_maps: take ->cred_guard_mutex to fix the race with exec"
04b836cbf19e885f8366bccb2e4b0474346c02d
commit in 2.6.31.
But the root of the problem lies in the fact that do_execve() path calls
tracehook_report_exec() which can stop if the tracer sets PT_TRACE_EXEC.
The tracee must not sleep in TASK_TRACED holding this mutex. Even if we
remove ->cred_guard_mutex from mm_for_maps() and proc_pid_attr_write(),
another task doing PTRACE_ATTACH should not hang until it is killed or the
tracee resumes.
With this patch do_execve() does not use ->cred_guard_mutex directly and
we do not hold it throughout, instead:
- introduce prepare_bprm_creds() helper, it locks the mutex
and calls prepare_exec_creds() to initialize bprm->cred.
- install_exec_creds() drops the mutex after commit_creds(),
and thus before tracehook_report_exec()->ptrace_stop().
or, if exec fails,
free_bprm() drops this mutex when bprm->cred != NULL which
indicates install_exec_creds() was not called.
