02424d8966 powerpc/ftrace: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC
This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
them for ftrace syscalls to use.

To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.

In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.

71e308a239 function-graph: add stack frame test
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.

An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.

This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.

There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.

This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.

This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.

Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

c3cf8667ed powerpc/ftrace: Fix constraint to be early clobber
After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.

The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
to be flagged as an "early clobber".

I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions
at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just
compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about.

We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode
as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already
have.

Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions

bb9b903527 powerpc, ftrace: use create_branch lib function
Impact: clean up, remove duplicate code

When ftrace was first ported to PowerPC, there existed a
create_function_call that would create the instruction to make a call
to a given address. Unfortunately, this call expected to write to
the address it was given, and since it used the address to calculate
the offset, it could not be faked.

ftrace needed a way to create the instruction without actually writing
that instruction to the text section. So ftrace had to implement its
own code.

Now we have create_branch in the code patching library, which does
exactly what ftrace needs. This patch replaces ftrace's implementation
with the library function.

b54dcfe108 powerpc, ftrace: use unsigned int for instruction manipulation
The original port of ftrace to PowerPC kept a lot of the code used
by x86. Some of this code was to handle x86's 5 byte instruction.
This was handled by using character arrays to manipulate the
code.

PowerPC has a consistent 4 byte instruction. Using unsigned ints
makes the code more efficient as well as more readable.
By converting to use unsigned ints to represent instructions,
I was able to remove the side effects that were needed for
manipulating character strings.

  i.e. memcpy and memcmp

bb7253403f powerpc64, ftrace: save toc only on modules for function graph
The TOCS used by modules are different than the one used by
the core kernel code. The function graph tracer must save and
restore the TOC whenever it traces a module call. But this
is an added overhead to burden the majority of core kernel
code being traced.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt suggested in testing the entry of
the call to tell if it is a core kernel function or a module.
He recommended using the REGION_ID() macro to perform this test.

This patch implements Benjamin's idea, and uses a different
return_to_handler routine dependent on if the entry is a core
kernel function or not. The module version saves the TOC, where as
the core kernel version does not.
