9705f69ed0 percpu: make percpu symbols in tracer unique
This patch updates percpu related symbols in kernel tracer such that
percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This
serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu
symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu
symbols.

* kernel/trace/trace.c: s/max_data/max_tr_data/
* kernel/trace/trace_hw_branches: s/tracer/hwb_tracer/, s/buffer/hwb_buffer/

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

eb02ce017d tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit() in filter_check_discard()
This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new
ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to
call the old commit function in the non-discard case.

It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the
global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases.

v2 changes:

- fix compile error noticed by Ingo Molnar

e1112b4d96 tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events
This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats
exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT.  It also hooks up all the tracers
that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can
also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism.

When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me
into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were -
I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file
bug reports. ;-)

One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the
sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if
you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output
from the events without filters on them can make it look like the
filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing
what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing.

The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function
tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the
unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g.
cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in
awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the
trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file.
If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before
they disappear.

Changes from v1:

As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker:

- get rid of externs in functions
- added unlikely() to filter_check_discard()

de79f54f53 x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface
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.

2d542cf342 tracing/hw-branch-tracing: convert bts-tracer mutex to a spinlock
Impact: fix CPU hotplug lockup

bts_hotcpu_handler() is called with irqs disabled, so using mutex_lock()
is a no-no.

All the BTS codepaths here are atomic (they do not schedule), so using
a spinlock is the right solution.

a234aa9ecd tracing: fix section mismatch in trace_hw_branches.c
The function bts_trace_init() references a variable
bts_hotcpu_notifier which is marked
as __cpuinitdata. Thus causes section mismatch. This patch fixes it.

 This is often because bts_trace_init lacks a __cpuinitdata

1830b52d0d trace: remove deprecated entry->cpu
Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu

With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is
implicit with which CPU buffer it is on.

The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic
entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the
ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the
the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed
to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu).

Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed.
This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu,
unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault
of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to
retrieve the cpu identifier.

This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes
all the users that should have been using iter->cpu.

51a763dd84 tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}
Impact: new API

These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.

It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.

With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.
