infrastructure and no longer use its debugfs knobs. The change
slightly touches kernel/trace directory, but it got the needed ack

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing
ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer.
Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the
splice_write side operation without affinity setting.
Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the
tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute
splice write side operation on the same node. In this case,
the page will be accessed from the another node.
Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing
thread to corresponding node.

This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
* ftrace enable
* sysfs event entry creation
This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.
Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall,
it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from
core_initcall to early_initcall.

In our application, we have trace markers spread through user-space.
We have markers in GL, X, etc. These are super handy for Chrome's
about:tracing feature (Chrome + system + kernel trace view), but
can be very distracting when you're trying to debug a kernel issue.
I normally, use "grep -v tracing_mark_write" but it would be nice
if I could just temporarily disable markers all together.

With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now
we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob.
It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we
have:
- Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can
move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still
not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one
thing less to worry about;
- Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried
it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that
way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to
pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register
"internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end";
- When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write
to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course,
still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

Thanks to Andi Kleen, gcc 4.6.0 now supports -mfentry for x86
(and hopefully soon for other archs). What this does is to have
the function profiler start at the beginning of the function
instead of after the stack is set up. As plain -pg (mcount) is
called after the stack is set up, and in some cases can have issues
with the function graph tracer. It also requires frame pointers to
be enabled.
The -mfentry now calls __fentry__ at the beginning of the function.
This allows for compiling without frame pointers and even has the
ability to access parameters if needed.
If the architecture and the compiler both support -mfentry then
use that instead.

Add missing initialization for ret variable. Its initialization
is based on the re_cnt variable, which is being set deep down
in the ftrace_function_filter_re function.
I'm not sure compilers would be smart enough to see this in near
future, so killing the warning this way.

The warkeup_rt self test used msleep() calls to wait for real time
tasks to wake up and run. On bare-metal hardware, this was enough as
the scheduler should let the RT task run way before the non-RT task
wakes up from the msleep(). If it did not, then that would mean the
scheduler was broken.
But when dealing with virtual machines, this is a different story.
If the RT task wakes up on a VCPU, it's up to the host to decide when
that task gets to schedule, which can be far behind the time that the
non-RT task wakes up. In this case, the test would fail incorrectly.
As we are not testing the scheduler, but instead the wake up tracing,
we can use completions to wait and not depend on scheduler timings
to see if events happen on time.

perf/trace: Add ability to set a target task for events
perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples properly
perf/x86/intel/uncore: Make UNCORE_PMU_HRTIMER_INTERVAL 64-bit
A few events are interesting not only for a current task.
For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task
which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such
events will be delivered to a target task too.
Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task().
The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra.
I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for
getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods.
These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by
perf tools.

Add selftests to test the save-regs functionality of ftrace.
If the arch supports saving regs, then it will make sure that regs is
at least not NULL in the callback.
If the arch does not support saving regs, it makes sure that the
registering of the ftrace_ops that requests saving regs fails.
It then tests the registering of the ftrace_ops succeeds if the
'IF_SUPPORTED' flag is set. Then it makes sure that the regs passed to
the function is NULL.

Add selftests to test the function tracing recursion protection actually
does work. It also tests if a ftrace_ops states it will perform its own
protection. Although, even if the ftrace_ops states it will protect itself,
the ftrace infrastructure may still provide protection if the arch does
not support all features or another ftrace_ops is registered.
