Impact: more robust DS feature enumeration

Detect the size of the pointer-type fields in the DS area
configuration via the DTES64 features rather than based on
the cpuid.

Rename a variable to denote that size to reflect that it only
covers the pointer-type fields.

Add more boot-time diagnostics giving the detected size and
the sizes of BTS and PEBS records.

Use the size of the BTS/PEBS record to indicate that the
respective feature is not available (if the record size is zero).

ds_write_config() can write the BTS as well as the PEBS part of
the DS config. ds_request_pebs() passes the wrong qualifier, which
results in the wrong configuration to be written.

In case a ptraced task is reaped (while the tracer is still attached),
ds_exit_thread() is called before ptrace_exit(). The latter will
release the bts_tracer and remove the thread's ds_ctx.
The former will WARN() if the context is not NULL.

Oleg Nesterov submitted patches that move ptrace_exit() before
exit_thread() and thus reverse the order of the above calls.

Remove the bad warning. I will add it again when Oleg's changes are in.

Impact: introduce new ptrace facility

Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.

Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
traced task is forked.

Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.

Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
that when the traced task dies.

Impact: restructure DS memory allocation to be done by the usage site of DS

Require pre-allocated buffers in ds.h.

Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c.

Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers

Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a
handle returned on ds_request_~().

Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct.

The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different
tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace.

For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct.
This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some
time.

this compiler warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:368: warning: 'context' may be used uninitialized in this function

Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated
yet.

First allocate the context, then do the other checks.

Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.

Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
BTS and PEBS recording.
It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.

Changes in detail:
- guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
- separate DS and BTS more clearly
- simplify field accesses
- add functions to manage PEBS buffers
- add simple protection/allocation mechanism
- added support for Atom

Opens:
- buffer overflow handling
  Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
  for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
  This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
  interface.
- utrace intermediate layer
