The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec
( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer )
added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into
the current_tracer file.
But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by
that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since
it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the
userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This
second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny
thing is that the tracer would have already been set.
This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

Impact: build fix on Alpha
When tracing is enabled, some arch have included <linux/irqflags.h>
on their <asm/system.h> but others like alpha or m68k don't.
Build error on alpha:
kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_cpumask_write':
kernel/trace/trace.c:2145: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_disable'
kernel/trace/trace.c:2162: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_enable'
Tested on Alpha through a cross-compiler (should correct a similar issue on m68k).

this warning:

Alas, this frozen-record facility seems to have little use. The
frozen_record_count variable is not used by anything, nor the flags.

The ftrace hash was used by the ftrace_daemon code. The record ip function
would place the calling address (ip) into the hash. The daemon would later
read the hash and modify that code.
The hash complicates the code. This patch removes it.

When an anomaly is detected, we need a way to completely disable
ftrace. Right now we have two functions: ftrace_kill and ftrace_kill_atomic.
The ftrace_kill tries to do it in a "nice" way by converting everything
back to a nop.
The "nice" way is dangerous itself, so this patch removes it and only
has the "atomic" version, which is all that is needed.

The stack trace API does not record if the stack is not on the current
task's stack. That is, if the stack is the interrupt stack or NMI stack,
the output does not show. Also, the size of those stacks are not
consistent with the size of the thread stack, this makes the calculation
of the stack size usually bogus.
This all confuses the stack tracer. I unfortunately do not have time to
fix all these problems, but this patch does record the worst stack when
the stack pointer is on the tasks stack (instead of bogus numbers).
The patch simply returns if the stack pointer is not on the task's stack.

To avoid further confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the
function tracer. This patch renames the "ftrace" function tracer
to "function".
Now in available_tracers, instead of "ftrace" there will be "function".
This makes more sense, since people will not know exactly what the
"ftrace" tracer does.

Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.

A lot of tracers have HAVE_FTRACE as a dependent config where it
really should not. The HAVE_FTRACE is a misnomer (soon to be fixed)
and describes if the architecture has the function tracer (mcount)
implemented. The ftrace infrastructure is implemented in all archs.

The x86 architecture uses a static recording of mcount caller locations
and is not affected by this patch.
For architectures still using the dynamic ftrace daemon, this patch is
critical. It removes the race between the recording of a function that
calls mcount, the unloading of a module, and the ftrace daemon updating
the call sites.
This patch adds the releasing of the hash functions that the daemon uses
to update the mcount call sites. When a module is unloaded, not only
are the replaced call site table update, but now so is the hash recorded
functions that the ftrace daemon will use.
Again, architectures that implement MCOUNT_RECORD are not affected by
this (which currently only x86 has).
