When a module filter is added to set_ftrace_filter, if the module is not
loaded, it is cached. This should be considered an active filter, and
function tracing should be filtered by this. That is, if a cached module
filter is the only filter set, then no function tracing should be happening,
as all the functions available will be filtered out.
This makes sense, as the reason to add a cached module filter, is to trace
the module when you load it. There shouldn't be any other tracing happening
until then.

When writing in a module filter into set_ftrace_filter for a module that is
not yet loaded, it it cached, and will be executed when the module is loaded
(although that is not implemented yet at this commit). Display the list of
cached modules to be traced.

Now that the function probes have their own ftrace_ops, there's no reason to
continue using the ftrace_func_hash to find which probe to call in the
function callback. The ops that is passed in to the function callback is
part of the probe_ops to call.

As nothing outside the tracing directory uses the function command mechanism,
I'm moving the prototypes out of the include/linux/ftrace.h and into the
local kernel/trace/trace.h header. I plan on making them hook to the
trace_array structure which is local to kernel/trace, and I do not want to
expose it to the rest of the kernel. This requires that the command functions
must also be local to tracing. But luckily nothing else uses them.

In order to eliminate a function call, make "trace_active" into
"disable_stack_tracer" and convert stack_tracer_disable() and friends into
static inline functions.

There are certain parts of the kernel that cannot let stack tracing
proceed (namely in RCU), because the stack tracer uses RCU, and parts of RCU
internals cannot handle having RCU read side locks taken.
Add stack_tracer_disable() and stack_tracer_enable() functions to let RCU
stop stack tracing on the current CPU when it is in those critical sections.

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to
not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is
enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since
ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to
update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing
ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself.
Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace
directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use
__init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is.
Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should
work for each of them.

Create an early_trace_init() function that will initialize the buffers and
allow for ealier use of trace_printk(). This will also allow for future work
to have function tracing start earlier at boot up.

...
Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel
command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very
dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging.
The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not
enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by
a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this
will remove the test and jump.
To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and
trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c.

Currently the global_ops filtering hash is not available to outside users
registering for function tracing. Provide an API for those users to be
able to choose global filtering.
This is in preparation for pstore's ftrace feature to be able to
use the global filters.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This release cycle is rather small. Just a few fixes to tracing.
The big change is the addition of the hwlat tracer. It not only
detects SMIs, but also other latency that's caused by the hardware. I
have detected some latency from large boxes having bus contention"
* tag 'trace-v4.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Call traceoff trigger after event is recorded
ftrace/scripts: Add helper script to bisect function tracing problem functions
tracing: Have max_latency be defined for HWLAT_TRACER as well
tracing: Add NMI tracing in hwlat detector
tracing: Have hwlat trace migrate across tracing_cpumask CPUs
tracing: Add documentation for hwlat_detector tracer
tracing: Added hardware latency tracer
ftrace: Access ret_stack->subtime only in the function profiler
function_graph: Handle TRACE_BPUTS in print_graph_comment
tracing/uprobe: Drop isdigit() check in create_trace_uprobe
Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct
can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type.
As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste
non-negligible space. As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly
for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed'
attribute.
ftrace_graph_ent_entry: 24 -> 20
ftrace_graph_ret_entry: 48 -> 44
Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize
the padding in the middle.
Tested on x86_64 only.
