debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get
an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself
from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing
to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing
because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file
system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring
in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure.

Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir.
Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance
directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do
something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this
hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does
not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done.

The options for cmdline tracers are not created if the debugfs system
is not ready yet. If tracing has started before debugfs is up, then the
option files for the tracer are not created. Create them when creating
the tracing directory if the current tracer requires option files.

The top level trace array is treated a little different than the
instances, as it has to deal with more of the general tracing.
The tr->dir is the tracing directory, which is an immutable
dentry, where as the tr->dir of instances are the dentry that
was created, and can be destroyed later. These should have different
functions accessing them.

As only tracing_init_dentry() deals with the top level array, fold
the code for it into that function, and remove the trace_init_dentry_tr()
that was also used by the instances to get their directory dentry.

Add a tracing_get_dentry() to just get the tracing dir entry for
instances as well as the top level array.

trace_init() calls init_ftrace_syscalls() and then calls trace_event_init()
which also calls init_ftrace_syscalls(). It makes more sense to only
call it from trace_event_init().

Calling it twice wastes memory, as it allocates the syscall events twice,
and loses the first copy of it.

Taking the global mutex "trace_types_lock" in the trace_pipe files
causes a bottle neck as most the pipe files can be read per cpu
and there's no reason to serialize them.

The current_trace variable was given a ref count and it can not
change when the ref count is not zero. Opening the trace_pipe
files will up the ref count (and decremented on close), so that
the lock no longer needs to be taken when accessing the
current_trace variable.

When one of the trace pipe files are being read (by either the trace_pipe
or trace_pipe_raw), do not allow the current_trace to change. By adding
a ref count that is incremented when the pipe files are opened, will
prevent the current_trace from being changed.

This will allow for the removal of the global trace_types_lock from
reading the pipe buffers (which is currently a bottle neck).

Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints
that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer.

Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl
/proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note,
this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl
file without the cmdline option will have no affect.

Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send
their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another
reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.

Enabling tracepoints at boot up can be very useful. The tracepoint
can be initialized right after RCU has been. There's no need to
wait for the early_initcall() to be called. That's too late for some
things that can use tracepoints for debugging. Move the logic to
enable tracepoints out of the initcalls and into init/main.c to
right after rcu_init().

This also allows trace_printk() to be used early too.

The initial reason for this patch is that I noticed that:

	if (len > TRACE_BUF_SIZE)

is off by one.  In this code, if len == TRACE_BUF_SIZE, then it means we
have truncated the last character off the output string.  If we truncate
two or more characters then we exit without printing.

After some discussion, we decided that printing truncated data is better
than not printing at all so we should just use vscnprintf() and remove
the test entirely.  Also I have updated memcpy() to copy the NUL char
instead of setting the NUL in a separate step.

As the seq_buf->len will soon be +1 size when there's an overflow, we
must use trace_seq_used() or seq_buf_used() methods to get the real
length. This will prevent buffer overflow issues if just the len

The function tracing_fill_pipe_page() logic is a little confusing with the
use of count saving the seq.len and reusing it.

Instead of subtracting a number that is calculated from the saved
value of the seq.len from seq.len, just save the seq.len at the start
and if we need to reset it, just assign it again.

When the seq_buf overflow is len == size + 1, the current logic will
break. Changing it to use a saved length for resetting back to the
original value is more robust and will work when we change the way
seq_buf sets the overflow.

Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq
had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code.

Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf()
and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can
return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead.

Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq
overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function
was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and
returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the
code.

This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of
trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be
void functions.

The problem is this: tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls
ring_buffer_wait() to wait for data in the ring buffers.  The buffers
are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately.  But
tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1,
meaning it only wants to read a full page.  When the full page is not
available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with
ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on.

Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will
make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's
page, i.e.  until full-page reads will succeed.

The "uptime" trace clock added in:

    commit 8aacf017
    tracing: Add "uptime" trace clock that uses jiffies

has wraparound problems when the system has been up more
than 1 hour 11 minutes and 34 seconds. It converts jiffies
to nanoseconds using:
        (u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL
but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it
truncates at 2^32 microseconds.  An additional problem on 32-bit
systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the
return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000
system).

Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and
not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because
user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel
HZ values).

With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the

the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.

Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.

Introduce saved_cmdlines_size file for changing the number of saved pid-comms.
saved_cmdlines currently stores 128 command names using SAVED_CMDLINES, but
'no-existing processes' names are often lost in saved_cmdlines when we
read the trace data. So, by introducing saved_cmdlines_size file, we can
now change the 128 command names saved to something much larger if needed.

When we write a value to saved_cmdlines_size, the number of the value will
be stored in pid-comm list:

	# echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size

Here, 1024 command names can be stored. The default number is 128 and the maximum
number is PID_MAX_DEFAULT (=32768 if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is not set). So, if we
want to avoid losing any command names, we need to set 32768 to
saved_cmdlines_size.

We can read the maximum number of the list:

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size
	128
