Move the existing rcu_barrier() implementation to rcutree.c,
consistent with the fact that the rcu_barrier() implementation is
tied quite tightly to the RCU implementation.

This opens the way to simplify and fix rcutree.c's rcu_barrier()
implementation in a later patch.

The robust list pointers of user space held futexes are kept intact
over an exec() call. When the exec'ed task exits exit_robust_list() is
called with the stale pointer. The risk of corruption is minimal, but
still it is incorrect to keep the pointers valid. Actually glibc
should uninstall the robust list before calling exec() but we have to
deal with it anyway.

Nullify the pointers after [compat_]exit_robust_list() has been
called.

Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288

It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in
futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the
error handling path and retries without locking them again which
makes the next unlock fail.

Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry.

The rcu_barrier enum causes several problems:

  (1) you have to define the enum somewhere, and there is no
      convenient place,

  (2) the difference between TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU causes
      problems when you need to map from rcu_barrier enum to struct
      rcu_state,

  (3) the switch statement are large, and

  (4) TINY_RCU really needs a different rcu_barrier() than do the
      treercu implementations.

So replace it with a functionally equivalent but cleaner function
pointer abstraction.

These issues identified during an old-fashioned face-to-face code

abstraction and introduces two new ones.  It also fixes an RCU
stall-warning bug found while making the other changes.

o	Make RCU_INIT_FLAVOR() declare its own variables, removing
	the need to declare them at each call site.

o	Create an rcu_for_each_leaf() macro that scans the leaf
	nodes of the rcu_node tree.

o	Create an rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first() macro that does
	a breadth-first traversal of the rcu_node tree, AKA
	stepping through the array in index-number order.

o	If all CPUs corresponding to a given leaf rcu_node
	structure go offline, then any tasks queued on that leaf
	will be moved to the root rcu_node structure.  Therefore,
	the stall-warning code must dump out tasks queued on the
	root rcu_node structure as well as those queued on the leaf
	rcu_node structures.

PI futexes do not use the same plist_node_empty() test for wakeup.
It was possible for the waiter (in futex_wait_requeue_pi()) to set
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE after the waker assigned the rtmutex to the
waiter. The waiter would then note the plist was not empty and call
schedule(). The task would not be found by any subsequeuent futex
wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang.

By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to
queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no
longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to
delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to
queue_me().

The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi()
relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and
wakeup.  The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts
as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex.

Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across
get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement
with a description of why the test is performed.

o Verify that qsmask bits stay clear through GP
  initialization.

o Verify that cpu_quiet_msk_finish() is never invoked unless
  there actually is an RCU grace period in progress.

o Verify that all internal-node rcu_node structures have empty
  blocked_tasks[] lists.

o Verify that child rcu_node structure's bits remain clear after
  acquiring parent's lock.

Now that the last users of markers have migrated to the event
tracer we can kill off the (now orphan) support code.

Arjan complained about the suckyness of TSC on modern machines, and
asked if we could do something about that for PERF_SAMPLE_TIME.

Make cpu_clock() NMI safe by removing the spinlock and using
cmpxchg. This also makes it smaller and more robust.

Affects architectures that use HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, i.e. IA64
and x86.

Draining the BTS buffer on a buffer overflow interrupt takes too
long resulting in a kernel lockup when tracing the kernel.

Restructure perf_counter sampling into sample creation and sample
output.

Prepare a single reference sample for BTS sampling and update the
from and to address fields when draining the BTS buffer. Drain the
entire BTS buffer between a single perf_output_begin() /
perf_output_end() pair.
