With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a
side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all
events in ftrace:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
[console]
event trace: Could not enable event function
This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system
it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
longer ignored.
Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
be printed.
By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
the function event and does not warn.

Adding FILTER_TRACE_FN event field type for function tracepoint
event, so it can be properly recognized within filtering code.
Currently all fields of ftrace subsystem events share the common
field type FILTER_OTHER. Since the function trace fields need
special care within the filtering code we need to recognize it
properly, hence adding the FILTER_TRACE_FN event type.
Adding filter parameter to the FTRACE_ENTRY macro, to specify the
filter field type for the event.

Adding TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN and TRACE_REG_PERF_CLOSE to differentiate
register/unregister from open/close actions.
The register/unregister actions are invoked for the first/last
tracepoint user when opening/closing the event.
The open/close actions are invoked for each tracepoint user when
opening/closing the event.

Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames.
This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when
the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for
the event processing itself.
Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can
write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer.
For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being
process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough
as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway.

Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer.
Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different
from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't
work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs()
which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register.
e.g.
# echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
# head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace>
=> schedule_timeout
=> n_tty_read
=> tty_read
=> vfs_read
=> sys_read
=> system_call_fastpath
kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050265: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050266: <stack trace>
=> worker_thread
=> kthread
=> kernel_thread_helper
sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca)
sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace>
=> sysret_careful
Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped
if the probe is put on the function entry area before
the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes
(push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder
depends on the frame pointer.

This partially reverts commit e6e1e25935.
That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which
in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly.
I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a
padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can
just use this padding field.

The lock_depth field in the event headers was added as a temporary
data point for help in removing the BKL. Now that the BKL is pretty
much been removed, we can remove this field.
This in turn changes the header from 12 bytes to 8 bytes,
removing the 4 byte buffer that gcc would insert if the first field
in the data load was 8 bytes in size.

Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:
field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
Now we get:
field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
Something much more useful.

This adds a new trace event internal flag that allows them to be
used in perf by non privileged users in case of task bound tracing.
This is desired for syscalls tracepoint because they don't leak
global system informations, like some other tracepoints.

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:
1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
"trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.
So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.

We found that even enabling a single trace event that will rarely be
triggered can add big overhead to context switch.
(lmbench context switch test)
-------------------------------------------------
2p/0K 2p/16K 2p/64K 8p/16K 8p/64K 16p/16K 16p/64K
ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw
------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- -------
2.19 2.3 2.21 2.56 2.13 2.54 2.07
2.39 2.51 2.35 2.75 2.27 2.81 2.24
The overhead is 6% ~ 11%.
It's because when a trace event is enabled 3 tracepoints (sched_switch,
sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new) will be activated to map pid to cmdname.
We'd like to avoid this overhead, so add a trace option '(no)record-cmd'
to allow to disable cmdline recording.

Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.
But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:
if (class->reg)
class->reg();
else
default_reg();
This is messy and can also lead to bugs.
This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.
