This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
of that file.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/mytrace.h>
This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
necessary to implement the trace point.
Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
it is best to list them all together.
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
#include <trace/foo.h>
#include <trace/bar.h>
#include <trace/fido.h>
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
design to have the C code include a "special" header.
This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
method.

It appears I inadvertly introduced rq->lock recursion to the
hrtimer_start() path when I delegated running already expired
timers to softirq context.
This patch fixes it by introducing a __hrtimer_start_range_ns()
method that will not use raise_softirq_irqoff() but
__raise_softirq_irqoff() which avoids the wakeup.
It then also changes schedule() to check for pending softirqs and
do the wakeup then, I'm not quite sure I like this last bit, nor
am I convinced its really needed.

Impact: cleanup
The naming clashes with upcoming softirq tracepoints, so rename the

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: fix to preempt trace triggering lockdep check_flag failure
In local_bh_disable, the use of add_preempt_count causes the
preempt tracer to start recording the time preemption is off.
But because it already modified the preempt_count to show
softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to
handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle.
The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace,
and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This
calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the
invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal
current->softirqs_enabled is still set.
The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count
and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical
area.
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.
