Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

Strictly speaking list_op_pending points to the 'lock entry', not the
'lock word' (which is actually at 'offset' from 'lock entry').  We can
infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c:

	    struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending;
		...
            if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip))
                    return;
            ...
            if (pending)
                    handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset,
                                       curr, pip);

Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.

find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and
find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument.
So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use
find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid.

While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and
find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only
modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was
switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a
pid_t.  Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's
generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting
modules to do it that way.

Based on Eric's patch which in turn was based on my patch.

kthread_stop() has the nasty problems:

- it runs unpredictably long with the global semaphore held.

- it deadlocks if kthread itself does kthread_stop() before it obeys
  the kthread_should_stop() request.

- it is not useable if kthread exits on its own, see for example the
  ugly "wait_to_die:" hack in migration_thread()

- it is not possible to just tell kthread it should stop, we must always
  wait for its exit.

With this patch kthread() allocates all neccesary data (struct kthread) on
its own stack, globals kthread_stop_xxx are deleted.  ->vfork_done is used
as a pointer into "struct kthread", this means kthread_stop() can easily
wait for kthread's exit.

We use two completions two create the kernel thread, this is a bit ugly.
kthread() wakes up create_kthread() via ->started, then create_kthread()
wakes up the caller kthread_create() via ->done.  But kthread() does not
need to wait for kthread(), it can just return.  Instead kthread() itself
can wake up the caller of kthread_create().

Kill kthread_create_info->started, ->done is enough.  This improves the
scalability a bit and sijmplifies the code.

The only problem if kernel_thread() fails, in that case create_kthread()
must do complete(&create->done).

In theory, the ->state changing can leak into the critical section.  Since
the child can change its status under read_lock(tasklist) in parallel
(finish_stop/ptrace_stop), we can miss the wakeup if __wake_up_parent()
sees us in TASK_RUNNING state.  Add the barrier.

Remove the "Nasty, nasty" lock dance in ptrace_attach()/ptrace_traceme() -
from now task_lock() has nothing to do with ptrace at all.

With the recent changes nobody uses task_lock() to serialize with ptrace,
but in fact it was never needed and it was never used consistently.

However ptrace_attach() calls __ptrace_may_access() and needs task_lock()
to pin task->mm for get_dumpable().  But we can call __ptrace_may_access()
before we take tasklist_lock, ->cred_exec_mutex protects us against
do_execve() path which can change creds and MMF_DUMP* flags.

(ugly, but we can't use ptrace_may_access() because it hides the error
code, so we have to take task_lock() and use __ptrace_may_access()).

NOTE: this change assumes that LSM hooks, security_ptrace_may_access() and
security_ptrace_traceme(), can be called without task_lock() held.
