The snapshot utility is extremely useful, and does not add any more
overhead in memory when another latency tracer is enabled. They use
the snapshot underneath. There's no reason to hide the snapshot file
when a latency tracer has been enabled in the kernel.
If any of the latency tracers (irq, preempt or wakeup) is enabled
then also select the snapshot facility.
Note, snapshot can be enabled without the latency tracers enabled.

Currently we do not know what buffer a module event was enabled in.
On unload, it is safest to clear all buffer instances, not just the
top level buffer.
Todo: Clear only the buffer that the event was used in. The
infrastructure is there to do this, but it makes the code a bit
more complex. Lets get the current code vetted before we add that.

Currently, when a module with events is unloaded, the trace buffer is
cleared. This is just a safety net in case the module might have some
strange callback when its event is outputted. But there's no reason
to reset the buffer if the module didn't have any of its events traced.
Add a flag to the event "call" structure called WAS_ENABLED and gets set
when the event is ever enabled, and this flag never gets cleared. When a
module gets unloaded, if any of its events have this flag set, then the
trace buffer will get cleared.

All the trace event flags have comments but the IGNORE_ENABLE flag
which is set for ftrace internal events that should not be enabled
via the debugfs "enable" file. That is, if the top level enable file
is set, it will enable all events. It use to just check the ftrace
event call descriptor "reg" field and skip those whithout it, but now
some ftrace internal events have a reg field but still need to be
skipped. The flag was created to ignore those events.
Now document it.

The new multi-buffers added a descriptor that kept track of module
events, and the directories they use, with struct ftace_module_file_ops.
This is used to add a ref count to keep modules from unloading while
their files are being accessed.
As the descriptor is only needed when CONFIG_MODULES is enabled, it
is only declared when the config is enabled. But that struct is
dereferenced in a few areas outside the #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES.
By adding some helper routines and moving code around a little,
events can be compiled again without modules.

The event structures used by the trace events are mostly persistent,
but they are also allocated by kmalloc, which is not the best at
allocating space for what is used. By converting these kmallocs
into kmem_cache_allocs, we can save over 50K of space that is
permanently allocated.
After boot we have:
slab name active allocated size
--------- ------ --------- ----
ftrace_event_file 979 1005 56 67 1
ftrace_event_field 2301 2310 48 77 1
The ftrace_event_file has at boot up 979 active objects out of
1005 allocated in the slabs. Each object is 56 bytes. In a normal
kmalloc, that would allocate 64 bytes for each object.
1005 - 979 = 26 objects not used
26 * 56 = 1456 bytes wasted
But if we used kmalloc:
64 - 56 = 8 bytes unused per allocation
8 * 979 = 7832 bytes wasted
7832 - 1456 = 6376 bytes in savings
Doing the same for ftrace_event_field where there's 2301 objects
allocated in a slab that can hold 2310 with 48 bytes each we have:
2310 - 2301 = 9 objects not used
9 * 48 = 432 bytes wasted
A kmalloc would also use 64 bytes per object:
64 - 48 = 16 bytes unused per allocation
16 * 2301 = 36816 bytes wasted!
36816 - 432 = 36384 bytes in savings
This change gives us a total of 42760 bytes in savings. At least
on my machine, but as there's a lot of these persistent objects
for all configurations that use trace points, this is a net win.

With the new descriptors used to allow multiple buffers in the
tracing directory added, the kernel command line parameter
trace_events=... no longer works. This is because the top level
(global) trace array now has a list of descriptors associated
with the events and the files in the debugfs directory. But in
early bootup, when the command line is processed and the events
enabled, the trace array list of events has not been set up yet.
Without the list of events in the trace array, the setting of
events to record will fail because it would not match any events.
The solution is to set up the top level array in two stages.
The first is to just add the ftrace file descriptors that just point
to the events. This will allow events to be enabled and start tracing.
The second stage is called after the filesystem is set up, and this
stage will create the debugfs event files and directories associated
with the trace array events.

Add a method to the hijacked dentry descriptor of the
"instances" directory to allow for rmdir to remove an
instance of a multibuffer.
Example:
cd /debug/tracing/instances
mkdir hello
ls
hello/
rmdir hello
ls
Like the mkdir method, the i_mutex is dropped for the instances
directory. The instances directory is created at boot up and can
not be renamed or removed. The trace_types_lock mutex is used to
synchronize adding and removing of instances.
I've run several stress tests with different threads trying to
create and delete directories of the same name, and it has stood
up fine.

Add the interface ("instances" directory) to add multiple buffers
to ftrace. To create a new instance, simply do a mkdir in the
instances directory:
This will create a directory with the following:
# cd instances
# mkdir foo
# ls foo
buffer_size_kb free_buffer trace_clock trace_pipe
buffer_total_size_kb set_event trace_marker tracing_enabled
events/ trace trace_options tracing_on
Currently only events are able to be set, and there isn't a way
to delete a buffer when one is created (yet).
Note, the i_mutex lock is dropped from the parent "instances"
directory during the mkdir operation. As the "instances" directory
can not be renamed or deleted (created on boot), I do not see
any harm in dropping the lock. The creation of the sub directories
is protected by trace_types_lock mutex, which only lets one
instance get into the code path at a time. If two tasks try to
create or delete directories of the same name, only one will occur
and the other will fail with -EEXIST.

Currently the syscall events record into the global buffer. But if
multiple buffers are in place, then we need to have syscall events
record in the proper buffers.
By adding descriptors to pass to the syscall event functions, the
syscall events can now record into the buffers that have been assigned
to them (one event may be applied to mulitple buffers).
This will allow tracing high volume syscalls along with seldom occurring
syscalls without losing the seldom syscall events.

The trace events for ftrace are all defined via global variables.
The arrays of events and event systems are linked to a global list.
This prevents multiple users of the event system (what to enable and
what not to).
By adding descriptors to represent the event/file relation, as well
as to which trace_array descriptor they are associated with, allows
for more than one set of events to be defined. Once the trace events
files have a link between the trace event and the trace_array they
are associated with, we can create multiple trace_arrays that can
record separate events in separate buffers.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace
calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done
with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched()
for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().
Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after
a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the
hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().
Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del().

Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment
of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock.
It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps
happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong
temp buffer to assign in the swap.
Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have
their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two
different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that
this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers.
New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger.

To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot
file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already
been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the
snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer
now writes to what was the snapshot buffer.
To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file.
To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written
into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns
-EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to
do nothing and return success.

delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent

This unbreaks versions of kexec-utils. Other bootloaders do not
appear to show sensitivity to this change, but it's a possibility for
breakage nevertheless."

Pull x86/asm changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change (by line count) is the unification of the XOR code
and then the introduction of an additional SSE based XOR assembly
method.
The other bigger change is the head_32.S rework/cleanup by Borislav
Petkov.
Last but not least there's the usual laundry list of small but
dangerous (and hopefully perfectly tested) changes to subtle low level
x86 code, plus cleanups."

Pull x86/apic changes from Ingo Molnar:
"Main changes:
- Multiple MSI support added to the APIC, PCI and AHCI code - acked
by all relevant maintainers, by Alexander Gordeev.
The advantage is that multiple AHCI ports can have multiple MSI
irqs assigned, and can thus spread to multiple CPUs.
[ Drivers can make use of this new facility via the
pci_enable_msi_block_auto() method ]
- x86 IOAPIC code from interrupt remapping cleanups from Joerg
Roedel:
These patches move all interrupt remapping specific checks out of
the x86 core code and replaces the respective call-sites with
function pointers. As a result the interrupt remapping code is
better abstraced from x86 core interrupt handling code.
- Various smaller improvements, fixes and cleanups."
