The tracepoints had the same problem markers did have wrt reentrancy. Apply a
similar fix using a rcu_barrier after each tracepoint mutex lock.

unregister bug:
codes using makers are typically calling marker_probe_unregister()
and then destroying the data that marker_probe_func needs(or
unloading this module). This is bug when the corresponding
marker_probe_func is still running(on other cpus),
it is using the destroying/ed data.
we should call synchronize_sched() after marker_update_probes().
reenter bug:
marker_probe_register(), marker_probe_unregister() and
marker_probe_unregister_private_data() are not reentrant safe
functions. these 3 functions release markers_mutex and then
require it again and do "entry->oldptr = old; ...", but entry->oldptr
maybe is using now for these 3 functions may reenter when markers_mutex
is released.
we use synchronize_sched() instead of call_rcu_sched() to fix
this bug. actually we can do:
"
if (entry->rcu_pending)
rcu_barrier_sched();
"
after require markers_mutex again. but synchronize_sched()
is better and simpler. For these 3 functions are not critical path.

It is because ftrace_modify_code() calls copy_to_user and
copy_from_user.
These functions have been inserted after guessing that there
couldn't be any race condition but copy_[to/from]_user might
sleep and __ftrace_update_code is called with local_irq_saved.
These function have been inserted since this commit:

With the recent updates to ftrace, there should not be any failures when
modifying the code. If there is, then we need to warn about it.
This patch has a cleaned up version of the code that I used to discover
that the weak symbols were causing failures.

Replace "none" tracer by the recently created "nop" tracer.
Both are pretty similar except that nop accepts TRACE_PRINT
or TRACE_SPECIAL entries.
And as a consequence, changing the size of the ring buffer now
requires that tracing has already been disabled.

This must be brown paper bag week for Steven Rostedt!
While working on ftrace for PPC, I discovered that the hash locking done
when CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is not set, is totally incorrect.
With a cut and paste error, I had the hash lock macro to lock for both
hash_lock _and_ hash_unlock!
This bug did not affect x86 since this bug was introduced when
CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD was added to x86.

An item in the trace buffer that is bigger than one entry may be split
up using the TRACE_CONT entry. This makes it a virtual single entry.
The current code increments the iterator index even while traversing
TRACE_CONT entries, making it look like the iterator is further than
it actually is.
This patch adds code to not increment the iterator index while skipping
over TRACE_CONT entries.
