Kernel breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass
breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length
and type.

Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across
architectures that may support this api later as these may have
more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure
instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into
a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure.

When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state.

Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being
explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread
mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would
transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing
information returned by read().

Fix it by clearing the error state.

In fail case, perf_event_create_kernel_counter() returns NULL
instead of an error, which doesn't help us to inform the user
about the origin of the problem from the outer most callers.
Often we can just return -EINVAL, which doesn't help anyone when
it's eventually about a memory allocation failure.

Then, this patch makes perf_event_create_kernel_counter() always
return a detailed error code.

It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template?

To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows
the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel:

  DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class)

    DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
    DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)
    DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3)

To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to:

  DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event)

... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

Percpu symbols now occupy the same namespace as other global
symbols and as such short global symbols without subsystem
prefix tend to collide with local variables.  dr7 percpu
variable used by x86 was hit by this. Rename it to cpu_dr7.

The rename also makes it more consistent with its fellow
cpu_debugreg percpu variable.

Merge branch 'tip/perf/core' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace into perf/core

Converting some of the scheduler trace events to use the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT helped to
save some space:

$ size kernel/sched.o-*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  79299	   6776	   2520	  88595	  15a13	kernel/sched.o-notrace
 101941	  11896	   2584	 116421	  1c6c5	kernel/sched.o-templ
 104779	  11896	   2584	 119259	  1d1db	kernel/sched.o-trace

sched.o-notrace is without any tracepoints compiled
sched.o-templ is with this patch
sched.o-trace is the tracepoints before this patch

The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT:

sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, sched_process_free, sched_process_exit,
and sched_stat_wait.

The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT:

sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait.

Note, since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE always uses a print, the
sched_stat_wait print format is defined in the template and this
template is used by sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. But the
later two override the print format.
Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other
trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there
are several trace points where they are almost identical except for
the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful
in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.

DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the
developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more
TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then
they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event
would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and
be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
and override the print format.

Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were
converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.

I was able to get the following:

$ size kernel/sched.o-*

sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points.
sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.

This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.

Usage is:

TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);

Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.

To create the trace events that the trace points will use:

DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.

A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:

$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
    text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
  452114          2788    3520  458422   6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old
  638482         38116    3744  680342   a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template
  996954         38116    4480 1039550   fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace

xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

Commit 4ed7c92d
(perf_events: Undo some recursion damage) has introduced a bad
reference counting of the recursion context. putting the context
behaves like getting it, dropping every software/trace events
after the first one in a context.

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The
function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it
meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and
0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function
returns a negative value.

Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups
because the event->pmu was not set until after
hw_perf_event_init().

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct.

Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the
defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the
desired configuration.

If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel
and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init()
first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the
subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.

Ingo found it confusing, and I agree with that, for 'perf
report' its OK because it is static, but for a tool refreshing
it the eventual switch from column to summary at the top may
seem confusing.
