Now that the pluging tracers use macros to create the structures and
automate the exporting of their formats to the format files, they also
automatically get a filter file.
This patch adds the code to implement the filter logic in the trace
recordings.

The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.
This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.
The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.
The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.
This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

Impact: new API
These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.
It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.
With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.

Now that we have a working ftrace=<tracer> function, make the boot
tracer get activated by it. This way we can turn it on or off without
recompiling the kernel, as well as keeping the selftests on. The
selftests are disabled whenever a default tracer starts running.

Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail
This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.
If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.
Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return
Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want
to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time
captures between sched events and initcall events.
So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the
initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the
ring buffer timestamp of both.

Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup
The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer
broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the
tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline,
NOT recording the schedule switches themselves.
Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it
wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while
puting back the original interface of the old API.

Impact: modify boot tracer
We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end
of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be
stopped when initcalls are finished.
However we want two things:
_Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished.
_Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we
want to enable them only during the initcall execution.
For this purpose, this patch introduce two functions to enable/disable
the sched_switch tracing during boot.

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.

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
entries in the buffer dramatically.
We can also get rid of the "trace_cont" operation, but I'm keeping that
until we have no more users. Some of the ftrace tracers can now change
their code to adapt to this new feature.

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.
