After some initcall traces, some initcall names may be inconsistent.
That's because these functions will disappear from the .init section
and also their name from the symbols table.

So we have to copy the name of the function in a buffer large enough
during the trace appending. It is not costly for the ring_buffer because
the number of initcall entries is commonly not really large.

With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make
ftrace a little more light weight.

This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into
preempt_disable/enable.  The original preempt count in a lot of cases
has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly.
Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway.

This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit
more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must
still protect from reentrancy.

Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable.
  It must do the following:

  resched = need_resched();
  preempt_disable_notrace();
  [...]
  if (resched)
	preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace();
  else
	preempt_enable_notrace();

The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the
preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead
us into a recursive failure.

If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we
should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most
likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule
function.

If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched
flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the
end will catch that for us.

The mmiotrace map had a bug that would typecast the entry from
the trace to the wrong type. That is a known danger of C typecasts,
there's absolutely zero checking done on them.

Help that problem a bit by using a GCC extension to implement a
type filter that restricts the types that a trace record can be
cast into, and by adding a dynamic check (in debug mode) to verify
the type of the entry.

This patch adds a macro to assign all entries of ftrace using the type
of the variable and checking the entry id. The typecasts are now done
in the macro for only those types that it knows about, which should
be all the types that are allowed to be read from the tracer.

The old "lock always" scheme had issues with lockdep, and was not very
efficient anyways.

This patch does a new design to be partially lockless on writes.
Writes will add new entries to the per cpu pages by simply disabling
interrupts. When a write needs to go to another page than it will
grab the lock.

A new "read page" has been added so that the reader can pull out a page
from the ring buffer to read without worrying about the writer writing over
it. This allows us to not take the lock for all reads. The lock is
now only taken when a read needs to go to a new page.

This is far from lockless, and interrupts still need to be disabled,
but it is a step towards a more lockless solution, and it also
solves a lot of the issues that were noticed by the first conversion
of ftrace to the ring buffers.

Note: the ring_buffer_{un}lock API has been removed.

This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that
hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use.

The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure:

  struct ring_buffer_event {
	u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27;
	u32 array[];
  };

The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte
aligned inside the buffer.

There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only
the data type is exported to the interface users).

 RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end
	of a buffer page.

 RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events
	is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another
	32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).

 RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to
	help keep the buffer timestamps in sync.

RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data.

The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be
4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a
max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28
bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the
data load and the len field is set to zero.

Example, data size of 7 bytes:

	type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
	len = 2
	time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
	array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty>

This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.

An event with 82 bytes of data:

	type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
	len = 0
	time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
	array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment)
	array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty>

The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct).
82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following
functions to gain access to the event table, since the
ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future.

ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.
	This is the size of the memory used to record this
	event, and not the size of the data pay load.

ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event
	This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.
	Note: Even though this is in the header, there should
		be no reason to access this directly, accept
		for debugging.

ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event
	This is the function to use to get the actual data
	from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the
	data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to
	another location otherwise you risk it being written
	over in the buffer.

ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer.
ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer.

ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between
	overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will
	overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will
	throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the
	producer.  The consumer/producer is the default.

ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu
	buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that
	the buffer is not being used while this is happening.
	This requirement may go away but do not count on it.

ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an
	entry on the buffer to write to.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to
	the buffer.

ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and
	consume it. That is, this function increments the head
	pointer.

ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer.
	For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue
	a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator
	to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.
	But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which
	is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want
	to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not
	disable the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables
	the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator.
ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it.
ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning
	of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end
	of the cpu buffer.

ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.
	Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs.

ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty
ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty

ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a
	cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you
	want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one
	cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.
	Ftrace max latencies use this.

ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty.
ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty.

ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only)
ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only)
ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers.
ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer.

ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer.
ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap.

ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer
ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp
	into nanosecs.

I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from
the cpu frequency infrastructure.  But this can be done at a later
time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

struct marker_entry.rcu_pending is not protected by any lock
in rcu-callback free_old_closure().
so we must turn it into a safe type.

I suppose rcu_pending and ptype are store in struct marker_entry.tmp1

free_old_closure() side:           change ptype side:

                                |  load struct marker_entry.tmp1

load struct marker_entry.tmp1   |
change rcu_pending bit in tmp1  |

--------------------------------|--------------------------------
                                |  store tmp1

now this result equals that free_old_closure() do not change rcu_pending
bit, bug! This bug will cause redundant rcu_barrier_sched() called.
not too harmful.

free_old_closure() side:           change ptype side:

after require markers_mutex again. but synchronize_sched()
