With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.
But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.
Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.

The function start_func_tracer() was incorrectly added in the
#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER condition, but is still used even
when function tracing is not enabled.
The calls to register_ftrace_function() and register_ftrace_graph()
become nops (and their arguments are even ignored), thus there is
no reason to hide start_func_tracer() when function tracing is
not enabled.

hw_breakpoint creation needs to account stuff per-task to ensure there
is always sufficient hardware resources to back these things due to
ptrace.
With the perf per pmu context changes the event initialization no
longer has access to the event context, for the simple reason that we
need to first find the pmu (result of initialization) before we can
find the context.
This makes hw_breakpoints unhappy, because it can no longer do per
task accounting, cure this by frobbing a task pointer in the event::hw
bits for now...

Currently it looks like find_lively_task_by_vpid() takes a task ref
and relies on find_get_context() to drop it.
The problem is that perf_event_create_kernel_counter() shouldn't be
dropping task refs.

Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take
the move_group path in perf_event_open().
Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we
have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant
and doesn't need changing.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is
most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the
system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers.
Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as
a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also
benefit.
The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where
possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the
built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately.
Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a
callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call
irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such
work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in
processing the work.

The group_sched_in() function uses a transactional approach to schedule
a group of events. In a group, either all events can be scheduled or
none are. To schedule each event in, the function calls event_sched_in().
In case of error, event_sched_out() is called on each event in the group.
The problem is that event_sched_out() does not completely cancel the
effects of event_sched_in(). Furthermore event_sched_out() changes the
state of the event as if it had run which is not true is this particular
case.
Those inconsistencies impact time tracking fields and may lead to events
in a group not all reporting the same time_enabled and time_running values.
This is demonstrated with the example below:
$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
1946101 unhalted_core_cycles (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
11423 baclears (32.85% scaling, ena=829181, run=556827)
7671 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=556827, run=556827)
2250443 unhalted_core_cycles (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
11705 baclears (57.83% scaling, ena=962822, run=405995)
Notice that in the first group, the last baclears event does not
report the same timings as its siblings.
This issue comes from the fact that tstamp_stopped is updated
by event_sched_out() as if the event had actually run.
To solve the issue, we must ensure that, in case of error, there is
no change in the event state whatsoever. That means timings must
remain as they were when entering group_sched_in().
To do this we defer updating tstamp_running until we know the
transaction succeeded. Therefore, we have split event_sched_in()
in two parts separating the update to tstamp_running.
Similarly, in case of error, we do not want to update tstamp_stopped.
Therefore, we have split event_sched_out() in two parts separating
the update to tstamp_stopped.
With this patch, we now get the following output:
$ task -eunhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears -e unhalted_core_cycles,baclears,baclears sleep 5
2492050 unhalted_core_cycles (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
11243 baclears (71.75% scaling, ena=1093330, run=308841)
1852746 unhalted_core_cycles (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
9253 baclears (0.00% scaling, ena=784489, run=784489)
Note that the uneven timing between groups is a side effect of
the process spending most of its time sleeping, i.e., not enough
event rotations (but that's a separate issue).

You can only call update_context_time() when the context
is active, i.e., the thread it is attached to is still running.
However, perf_event_read() can be called even when the context
is inactive, e.g., user read() the counters. The call to
update_context_time() must be conditioned on the status of
the context, otherwise, bogus time_enabled, time_running may
be returned. Here is an example on AMD64. The task program
is an example from libpfm4. The -p prints deltas every 1s.
$ task -p -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
2,266,610 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
0 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,158,982, run=2,158,982)
5,242,358,071 cpu_clk_unhalted (99.95% scaling, ena=5,000,359,984, run=2,319,270)
Whereas if you don't read deltas, e.g., no call to perf_event_read() until
the process terminates:
$ task -e cpu_clk_unhalted sleep 5
2,497,783 cpu_clk_unhalted (0.00% scaling, ena=2,376,899, run=2,376,899)
Notice that time_enable, time_running are bogus in the first example
causing bogus scaling.
This patch fixes the problem, by conditionally calling update_context_time()
in perf_event_read().

Even though the parent is recorded with the normal function tracing
of the latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup), the function graph
recording is bogus.
This is due to the function graph messing with the return stack.
The latency tracers pass in as the parent CALLER_ADDR0, which
works fine for plain function tracing. But this causes bogus output
with the graph tracer:
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | trace_hardirqs_on();
The "return_to_handle()" call is the trampoline of the
function graph tracer, and is meaningless in this context.

The preempt and irqsoff tracers have three types of function tracers.
Normal function tracer, function graph entry, and function graph return.
Each of these use a complex dance to prevent recursion and whether
to trace the data or not (depending if interrupts are enabled or not).
This patch moves the duplicate code into a single routine, to
prevent future mistakes with modifying duplicate complex code.

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
After verifying this works, other archs can add:
HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
instead of the perl version.
