gcc incorrectly states that the variable "fmt" is uninitialized when
CC_OPITMIZE_FOR_SIZE is set.
Instead of just blindly setting fmt to NULL, the code is cleaned up
a little to be a bit easier for humans to follow, as well as gcc
to know the variables are initialized.

The fix to fix the printk_formats of modules broke the
printk_formats of trace_printks in the kernel.
The update of what to show via the seq_file was only updated
if the passed in fmt was NULL, which happens only on the first
iteration. The result was showing the first format every time
instead of iterating through the available formats.

The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses
to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace
tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events
to get the format saved when reading the ring buffer directly.
This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the
buffer, but just the address of the format, which is hidden in
the kernel memory.
But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core
and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported
as well.

The trace_printk() formats for modules do not show up in the
debugfs/tracing/printk_formats file. Only the formats that are
for trace_printk()s that are in the kernel core.
To facilitate the change to add trace_printk() formats from modules
into that file as well, we need to convert the structure that
holds the formats from char fmt[], into const char *fmt,
and allocate them separately.

Now that the last users of markers have migrated to the event
tracer we can kill off the (now orphan) support code.

Since the trace_printk may use pointers to the format fields
in the buffer, they are exported via debugfs/tracing/printk_formats.
This is used by utilities that read the ring buffer in binary format.
It helps the utilities map the address of the format in the binary
buffer to what the printf format looks like.
Unfortunately, the way the output code works, it exports the address
of the pointer to the format address, and not the format address
itself. This makes the file totally useless in trying to figure
out what format string a binary address belongs to.

It's wrong to increment @pos in t_start(), otherwise we'll lose
some entries when reading printk_formats, if the output is larger
than PAGE_SIZE.

Impact: cleanup
Most of the tracing files creation follow the same pattern:
ret = debugfs_create_file(...)
if (!ret)
pr_warning("Couldn't create ... entry\n")
Unify it!

The function depth in trace_printk was to facilitate the function
graph output. Now that the function graph calculates the depth within
the trace output, we no longer need to record the depth when the
trace_printk is called.

The binary printk saves a pointer to the format string in the ring buffer.
On output, the format is processed. But if the user is reading the
ring buffer through a binary interface, the pointer is meaningless.
This patch creates a file called printk_formats that maps the pointers
to the formats.
# cat /debug/tracing/printk_formats
0xffffffff80713d40 : "irq_handler_entry: irq=%d handler=%s\n"
0xffffffff80713d48 : "lock_acquire: %s%s%s\n"
0xffffffff80713d50 : "lock_release: %s\n"

Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings
Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.
So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.
The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.
Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

Impact: faster and lighter tracing
Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.
Some changes result of this:
- Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c
- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.
- change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
developers.
- etc...
V2:
- Rebase against last changes
- Fix mispell on the changelog
V3:
- Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h)
