Linus Torvalds 9bd01b9bbd Two fixes in the tracing utility.
The first is a fix for the way the ring buffer stores timestamps.
 After a restructure of the code was done, the ring buffer timestamp
 logic missed the fact that the first event on a sub buffer is to have
 a zero delta, as the full timestamp is stored on the sub buffer itself.
 But because the delta was not cleared to zero, the timestamp for that
 event will be calculated as the real timestamp + the delta from the
 last timestamp. This can skew the timestamps of the events and
 have them say they happened when they didn't really happen. That's bad.
 
 The second fix is for modifying the function graph caller site.
 When the stop machine was removed from updating the function tracing
 code, it missed updating the function graph call site location.
 It is still modified as if it is being done via stop machine. But it's not.
 This can lead to a GPF and kernel crash if the function graph call site
 happens to lie between cache lines and one CPU is executing it while
 another CPU is doing the update. It would be a very hard condition to
 hit, but the result is sever enough to have it fixed ASAP.
