Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
percpu variables
This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.
If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.
If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

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;
field:unsigned int next_cpu; offset:28; size:4;
print fmt: "%u:%u:%u ==+ %u:%u:%u [%03u]"

Impact: fix function graph trace hang / drop pointless softirq on UP
While debugging a function graph trace hang on an old PII, I saw
that it consumed most of its time on the timer interrupt. And
the domain rebalancing softirq was the most concerned.
The timer interrupt calls trigger_load_balance() which will
decide if it is worth to schedule a rebalancing softirq.
In case of builtin UP kernel, no problem arises because there is
no domain question.
In case of builtin SMP kernel running on an SMP box, still no
problem, the softirq will be raised each time we reach the
next_balance time.
In case of builtin SMP kernel running on a UP box (most distros
provide default SMP kernels, whatever the box you have), then
the CPU is attached to the NULL sched domain. So a kind of
unexpected behaviour happen:
trigger_load_balance() -> raises the rebalancing softirq later
on softirq: run_rebalance_domains() -> rebalance_domains() where
the for_each_domain(cpu, sd) is not taken because of the NULL
domain we are attached at. Which means rq->next_balance is never
updated. So on the next timer tick, we will enter
trigger_load_balance() which will always reschedule() the
rebalacing softirq:
if (time_after_eq(jiffies, rq->next_balance))
raise_softirq(SCHED_SOFTIRQ);
So for each tick, we process this pointless softirq.
This patch fixes it by checking if we are attached to the null
domain before raising the softirq, another possible fix would be
to set the maximal possible JIFFIES value to rq->next_balance if
we are attached to the NULL domain.

Impact: decrease hangs risks with the graph tracer on slow systems
Since the function graph tracer can spend too much time on timer
interrupts, it's better now to use the more lightweight local
clock. Anyway, the function graph traces are more reliable on a
per cpu trace.

The latency tracers (irqsoff, preemptoff, preemptirqsoff, and wakeup)
are pretty useless with the default output format. This patch makes them
automatically enable the latency format when they are selected. They
also record the state of the latency option, and if it was not enabled
when selected, they disable it on reset.

Impact: clean up
The trace and latency_trace function pointers are identical for
every tracer but the function tracer. The differences in the function
tracer are trivial (latency output puts paranthesis around parent).
This patch removes the latency_trace pointer and all prints will
now just use the trace output function pointer.

With the removal of the latency_trace file, we lost the ability
to see some of the finer details in a trace. Like the state of
interrupts enabled, the preempt count, need resched, and if we
are in an interrupt handler, softirq handler or not.
This patch simply creates an option to bring back the old format.
This also removes the warning about an unused variable that held
the latency_trace file operations.

Impact: fix trace read to conform to standards
Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso and H. Peter Anvin brought to my attention
that a userspace read should not return -EFAULT if it succeeded in
copying anything. It should only return -EFAULT if it failed to copy
at all.
This patch modifies the check of copy_from_user and updates the return
code appropriately.
I also used H. Peter Anvin's short cut rule to just test ret == count.

If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the
incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the
recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller.
A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not
be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page
is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the
ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct.

Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption
The commit: b04cc6b1f6398b0e0b60d37e27ce51b4899672ec
tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files
added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle
to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the
all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this
to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU.
The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was
not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing
out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.

If a machine is flooded by network frames, a cpu can loop
100% of its time inside ksoftirqd() without calling schedule().
This can delay RCU grace period to insane values.
Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem.
Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from
"schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent
state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

Impact: ABI change
This expands several fields in the perf_counter_hw_event struct and adds
a "flags" argument to the perf_counter_open system call, in order that
features can be added in future without ABI changes.
In particular the record_type field is expanded to 64 bits, and the
space for flag bits has been expanded from 32 to 64 bits.
This also adds some new fields:
* read_format (64 bits) is intended to provide a way to specify what
userspace wants to get back when it does a read() on a simple
(non-interrupting) counter;
* exclude_idle (1 bit) provides a way for userspace to ask that events
that occur when the cpu is idle be excluded;
* extra_config_len will provide a way for userspace to supply an
arbitrary amount of extra machine-specific PMU configuration data
immediately following the perf_counter_hw_event struct, to allow
sophisticated users to program things such as instruction matching
CAMs and address range registers;
* __reserved_3 and __reserved_4 provide space for future expansion.

Impact: dont leave holes in read buffer page
The ring_buffer_read_page swaps a given page with the reader page
of the ring buffer, if certain conditions are set:
1) requested length is big enough to hold entire page data
2) a writer is not currently on the page
3) the page is not partially consumed.
Instead of swapping with the supplied page. It copies the data to
the supplied page instead. But currently the data is copied in the
same offset as the source page. This causes a hole at the start
of the reader page. This complicates the use of this function.
Instead, it should copy the data at the beginning of the function
and update the index fields accordingly.
Other small clean ups are also done in this patch.

Impact: fix to possible alignment problems on some archs.

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.
In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit:
/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64
There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.
The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.
A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.
