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)

Impact: save on memory for tracing

Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry,
struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary
event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events.
A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it.

So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure
is for this purpose.

An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.

Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.

Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.

The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.

The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.

Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.

Changes in V2:

- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
  a structure.

Changes in v3:

- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
  printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
  Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
  avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
  changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
  It would be too risky.

- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).

- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p

Changes in v4:

- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
  (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

This is an architecture independant synchronization around kernel text
modifications through use of a global mutex.

A mutex has been chosen so that kprobes, the main user of this, can sleep
during memory allocation between the memory read of the instructions it
must replace and the memory write of the breakpoint.

Other user of this interface: immediate values.

Paravirt and alternatives are always done when SMP is inactive, so there

Details:

		mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
		ftrace_update_pid_func()
			mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
			mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);
		mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock);

Merge branch 'tip/tracing/ftrace' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace into tracing/ftrace

Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries

Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary
reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries
can't export their formats.

This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory
that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items.

These only have three files in the events directory:

 type             : printf
 available_types  : printf
 format           : format for the event entry

For example:

 # cat /debug/tracing/events/ftrace/wakeup/format
name: wakeup
ID: 3
format:
        field:unsigned char type;       offset:0;       size:1;
        field:unsigned char flags;      offset:1;       size:1;
        field:unsigned char preempt_count;      offset:2;       size:1;
        field:int pid;  offset:4;       size:4;
        field:int tgid; offset:8;       size:4;

        field:unsigned int prev_pid;    offset:12;      size:4;
        field:unsigned char prev_prio;  offset:16;      size:1;
        field:unsigned char prev_state; offset:17;      size:1;
        field:unsigned int next_pid;    offset:20;      size:4;
        field:unsigned char next_prio;  offset:24;      size:1;
        field:unsigned char next_state; offset:25;      size:1;

Impact: cleanup

The functions tracing_start/tracing_stop have been moved to kernel.h.
These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use
when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from
user space.

tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like
suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the
system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from
doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit
more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface
back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland
can not start tracing.

What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off.
These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit).
These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers
don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL
from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function.

Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit.
In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off())
or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when
a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it
hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart
tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on).

This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how
to use them.
