Impact: clean up
To further facilitate the ease of adding trace points for developers, this
patch creates include/trace/trace_events.h and
include/trace/trace_event_types.h.
The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold
the trace/<type>_event_types.h files.
To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically
appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file
which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file.
The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT
macros.
Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h,
and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file.
No need to modify files elsewhere.

Impact: fix compile warning and clean up
When I first wrote __tracing_open, instead of passing the error
code via the ERR_PTR macros, I lazily used a separate parameter
to hold the return for errors.
When Frederic Weisbecker updated that function, he used the Linux
kernel ERR_PTR for the returns. This caused the parameter return
to possibly not be initialized on error. gcc correctly pointed this
out with a warning.
This patch converts the entire function to use the Linux kernel
ERR_PTR macro methods.

Impact: fix to possible race conditions
There's some uses of current_tracer that is not protected by the
trace_types_lock. There is a small chance that a sysadmin changes
the tracer while the current_tracer is being referenced.
If the race is hit, it is unlikely to cause any harm since the
tracers are constant and are not freed. But some strang side
effects may occur.

This patch adds the tracer dependent options dynamically to the
options directory when the tracer is activated. These options are
removed when the tracer is deactivated.

This patch creates an options directory in the debugfs, that contains
the available tracing options. These files contain 1 or 0, where 1
is the option is enabled and 0 it is disabled.
Simply echoing in 1 will enable the option and 0 will disable it.
This patch only contains the core options, not the tracer options.

Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs
Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision
tradeoffs:
- local: CPU-local trace clock
- medium: scalable global clock with some jitter
- global: globally monotonic, serialized clock
Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.

Add them to the generic IRQ code, that way every architecture

Using Steve's new 'TRACE_FORMAT', I can get function graph
trace as follows using the original two IRQ tracepoints:
3) | handle_IRQ_event() {
3) | /* (irq_handler_entry) irq=28 handler=eth0 */
3) | e1000_intr_msi() {
3) 2.460 us | __napi_schedule();
3) 9.416 us | }
3) | /* (irq_handler_exit) irq=28 handler=eth0 return=handled */

Impact: restructure the VFS layout of per CPU trace buffers
The per cpu trace files are all in a single directory:
/debug/tracing/per_cpu. In case of a large number of cpu, the
content of this directory becomes messy so we create now one
directory per cpu inside /debug/tracing/per_cpu which contain
each their own trace_pipe and trace files.
Ie:
/debug/tracing$ ls -R per_cpu
per_cpu:
cpu0 cpu1
per_cpu/cpu0:
trace trace_pipe
per_cpu/cpu1:
trace trace_pipe

Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
reentrants.
Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
and the seq helpers.
Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
the other to finish its read call.
The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
function.
The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
prediction for that.
Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
you think about it.

Impact: split up tracing output per cpu
Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:
- trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
available.
- trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...
- trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).
The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
capture.
The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
one trace buffer per cpu.
So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.
Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
one trace file per cpu.
Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:
trace0
trace1
trace_pipe0
trace_pipe1
And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
the traces from the given cpu.
The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
their original place.
Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.
Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
trace_pipe1.
Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook.
example:
# echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event
Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered).
# echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event
Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event).
# echo > /debug/tracing/set_event
Will disable all events (notice the '>')
# cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event
