Jeremy Fitzhardinge reported this build failure:

 LD	 .tmp_vmlinux1
 arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o: In function `ds_take_timestamp':
 git/linux/arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:1380: undefined reference to `trace_clock_global'
 git/linux/arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:1380: undefined reference to `trace_clock_global'

Which is due to !CONFIG_TRACING && CONFIG_X86_DS=y.

Expose the trace clock code to CONFIG_X86_DS as well.

[ Unfortunately librarizing doesnt work well - ancient architectures
  with no raw_local_irq_save() primitive break the build. ]

The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
interrupts disabled.

Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.

Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.

Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.

Defer the ds selftest.

Per-task branch tracing installs a debug store context with the traced
task. This immediately results in the branch trace control bits to be
cleared for the next context switch of that task, if not set before.

Either per-cpu or per-task tracing are allowed at the same time.

An active per-cpu tracing would be disabled even if the per-task tracing
request is rejected and the task debug store context removed.

Check the tracing type (per-cpu or per-task) before installing a task
debug store context.

In order to stop branch tracing for a running task, we need to first
clear the branch tracing control bits before we may free the tracing
buffer.

If the traced task is running, the cpu might still trace that task
after the branch trace control bits have cleared.

Wait until the traced task has been scheduled out before proceeding.

A similar problem affects the task debug store context. We first remove
the context, then we need to wait until the task has been scheduled
out before we can free the context memory.

Since the unlink is called with interrupts disabled, and we need

When the bts tracer is removed while the traced task is running,
the write to clear the bts tracer pointer races with context switch code.

Read the tracer once during a context switch.

When a new tracer is installed, the bts tracer is set in the ds context
before the tracer is initialized in order to claim the context for that
tracer.

This may result in write accesses using an uninitialized trace configuration
when scheduling timestamps have been requested.

Store active tracing flags separately and only set active flags after
the tracing configuration has been initialized.
