Merge reason: We are going to queue up a dependent patch:
"perf tools: Move parse event automated tests to separated object"
That depends on:
commit e7c72d8
perf tools: Add 'G' and 'H' modifiers to event parsing
Conflicts:
tools/perf/builtin-stat.c
Conflicted with the recent 'perf_target' patches when checking the
result of perf_evsel open routines to see if a retry is needed to cope
with older kernels where the exclude guest/host perf_event_attr bits
were not used.

The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
was not set.
When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
-fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
-fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.
The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
but do not set FRAME_POINTER.
As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
-pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.
Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
is selected.

To remove duplicate code, have the ftrace arch_ftrace_update_code()
use the generic ftrace_modify_all_code(). This requires that the
default ftrace_replace_code() becomes a weak function so that an
arch may override it.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Rename __ftrace_modify_code() to ftrace_modify_all_code() and make
it global for all archs to use. This will remove the duplication
of code, as archs that can modify code without stop_machine()
can use it directly outside of the stop_machine() call.

ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is
on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise.
To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it
must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop.
This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can
instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the
probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can
simply be moved forward.

Both ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() do basically the same thing.
They search to see if an address is in the ftace table (contains an address
that may change from nop to call ftrace_caller). The difference is
that ftrace_location() searches a single address, but ftrace_text_reserved()
searches a range.
This also makes the ftrace_text_reserved() faster as it now uses a bsearch()
instead of linearly searching all the addresses within a page.

As all records in a page of the ftrace table are sorted, we can
speed up the search algorithm by checking if the address to look for
falls in between the first and last record ip on the page.
This speeds up both the ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved()
algorithms, as it can skip full pages when the search address is
not in them.

The ftrace_record_ip() and ftrace_alloc_dyn_node() were from the
time of the ftrace daemon. Although they were still used, they
still make things a bit more complex than necessary.
Move the code into the one function that uses it, and remove the
helper functions.

Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page,
sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages.
This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can
also sort by pages, not just records within a page.

When the ring buffer does its consistency test on itself, it
removes the head page, runs the tests, and then adds it back
to what the "head_page" pointer was. But because the head_page
pointer may lack behind the real head page (held by the link
list pointer). The reset may be incorrect.
Instead, if the head_page exists (it does not on first allocation)
reset it back to the real head page before running the consistency
tests. Then it will be put back to its original location after
the tests are complete.

There use to be ring buffer integrity checks after updating the
size of the ring buffer. But now that the ring buffer can modify
the size while the system is running, the integrity checks were
removed, as they require the ring buffer to be disabed to perform
the check.
Move the integrity check to the reading of the ring buffer via the
iterator reads (the "trace" file). As reading via an iterator requires
disabling the ring buffer, it is a perfect place to have it.
If the ring buffer happens to be disabled when updating the size,
we still perform the integrity check.

This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer
without destroying any existing data in it.
This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure
that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the
head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after
the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data
from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read.
To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short
time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the
ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to
minimize the time needed to stop tracing.
The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed
runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only
NMI trace contexts.

On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning
of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because
the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and
gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly).
Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show
a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[].
This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages
(what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with
gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.

With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a
side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all
events in ftrace:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
[console]
event trace: Could not enable event function
This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system
it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
longer ignored.
Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
be printed.
By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
the function event and does not warn.

We always need to pass the last sample period to
perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be
wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period
as argument. So basically a pattern like this:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL);
data.period = event->hw.last_period;
will now be like that:
perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period);
Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.
