Tune the scheduling helpers so that we can choose to schedule either
pinned and/or flexible groups from a context.
And while at it, refactor a bit the naming of these helpers to make
these more consistent and flexible.
There is no (intended) change in scheduling behaviour in this

Each time we save a function entry from the function graph
tracer, we check if the trace array is set, which is wasteful
because it is set anyway before we start the tracer. All we need
is to ensure we have good read and write orderings. When we set
the trace array, we just need to guarantee it to be visible
before starting tracing.

Right now for kfifo_*_user it's not easily possible to distingush between
a user copy failing and the FIFO not containing enough data. The problem
is that both conditions are multiplexed into the same return code.
Avoid this by moving the "copy length" into a separate output parameter
and only return 0/-EFAULT in the main return value.
I didn't fully adapt the weird "record" variants, those seem
to be unused anyways and were rather messy (should they be just removed?)
I would appreciate some double checking if I did all the conversions
correctly.

Before scheduling an event group, we first check if a group can go
on. We first check if the group is made of software only events
first, in which case it is enough to know if the group can be
scheduled in.
For that purpose, we iterate through the whole group, which is
wasteful as we could do this check when we add/delete an event to
a group.
So we create a group_flags field in perf event that can host
characteristics from a group of events, starting with a first
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE flag that reduces the check on the fast path.

Split-up struct perf_event_context::group_list into pinned_groups
and flexible_groups (non-pinned).
This first appears to be useless as it duplicates various loops around
the group list handlings.
But it scales better in the fast-path in perf_sched_in(). We don't
anymore iterate twice through the entire list to separate pinned and
non-pinned scheduling. Instead we interate through two distinct lists.
The another desired effect is that it makes easier to define distinct
scheduling rules on both.
Changes in v2:
- Respectively rename pinned_grp_list and
volatile_grp_list into pinned_groups and flexible_groups as per
Ingo suggestion.
- Various cleanups

Currently, futexes have two problem:
A) The current futex code doesn't handle private file mappings properly.
get_futex_key() uses PageAnon() to distinguish file and
anon, which can cause the following bad scenario:
1) thread-A call futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAIT), it
sleeps on file mapping object.
2) thread-B writes a variable and it makes it cow.
3) thread-B calls futex(private-mapping, FUTEX_WAKE), it
wakes up blocked thread on the anonymous page. (but it's nothing)
B) Current futex code doesn't handle zero page properly.
Read mode get_user_pages() can return zero page, but current
futex code doesn't handle it at all. Then, zero page makes
infinite loop internally.
The solution is to use write mode get_user_page() always for
page lookup. It prevents the lookup of both file page of private
mappings and zero page.
Performance concerns:
Probaly very little, because glibc always initialize variables
for futex before to call futex(). It means glibc users never see
the overhead of this patch.
Compatibility concerns:
This patch has few compatibility issues. After this patch,
FUTEX_WAIT require writable access to futex variables (read-only
mappings makes EFAULT). But practically it's not a problem,
glibc always initalizes variables for futexes explicitly - nobody
uses read-only mappings.

The rcu_process_dyntick() function checks twice for the end of
the current grace period. However, it holds the current
rcu_node structure's ->lock field throughout, and doesn't get to
the second call to rcu_gp_in_progress() unless there is at least
one CPU corresponding to this rcu_node structure that has not
yet checked in for the current grace period, which would prevent
the current grace period from ending. So the current grace
period cannot have ended, and the second check is redundant, so
remove it.
Also, given that this function is used even with !CONFIG_NO_HZ,
its name is quite misleading. Change from rcu_process_dyntick()
to force_qs_rnp().

The comparisons of rsp->gpnum nad rsp->completed in
rcu_process_dyntick() and force_quiescent_state() can be
replaced by the much more clear rcu_gp_in_progress() predicate
function. After doing this, it becomes clear that the
RCU_SAVE_COMPLETED leg of the force_quiescent_state() function's
switch statement is almost completely a no-op. A small change
to the RCU_SAVE_DYNTICK leg renders it a complete no-op, after
which it can be removed. Doing so also eliminates the forcenow

Because a new grace period cannot start while we are executing
within the force_quiescent_state() function's switch statement,
if any test within that switch statement or within any function
called from that switch statement shows that the current grace
period has ended, we can safely re-do that test any time before
we leave the switch statement. This means that we no longer
need a return value from rcu_process_dyntick(), as we can simply
invoke rcu_gp_in_progress() to check whether the old grace
period has finished -- there is no longer any need to worry
about whether or not a new grace period has been started.

Reduce the number and variety of race conditions by prohibiting
the start of a new grace period while force_quiescent_state() is
active. A new fqs_active flag in the rcu_state structure is used
to trace whether or not force_quiescent_state() is active, and
this new flag is tested by rcu_start_gp(). If the CPU that
closed out the last grace period needs another grace period,
this new grace period may be delayed up to one scheduling-clock
tick, but it will eventually get started.

When print-fatal-signals is enabled it's possible to dump any memory
reachable by the kernel to the log by simply jumping to that address from
user space.
Or crash the system if there's some hardware with read side effects.
The fatal signals handler will dump 16 bytes at the execution address,
which is fully controlled by ring 3.
In addition when something jumps to a unmapped address there will be up to
16 additional useless page faults, which might be potentially slow (and at
least is not very efficient)
Fortunately this option is off by default and only there on i386.
But fix it by checking for kernel addresses and also stopping when there's
a page fault.

The LTP cgroup test suite generates a "kernel BUG at kernel/cgroup.c:790!"
here in cgroup_diput():
/*
* if we're getting rid of the cgroup, refcount should ensure
* that there are no pidlists left.
*/
BUG_ON(!list_empty(&cgrp->pidlists));
The cgroup pidlist rework in 2.6.32 generates the BUG_ON, which is caused
when pidlist_array_load() calls cgroup_pidlist_find():
(1) if a matching cgroup_pidlist is found, it down_write's the mutex of the
pre-existing cgroup_pidlist, and increments its use_count.
(2) if no matching cgroup_pidlist is found, then a new one is allocated, it
down_write's its mutex, and the use_count is set to 0.
(3) the matching, or new, cgroup_pidlist gets returned back to pidlist_array_load(),
which increments its use_count -- regardless whether new or pre-existing --
and up_write's the mutex.
So if a matching list is ever encountered by cgroup_pidlist_find() during
the life of a cgroup directory, it results in an inflated use_count value,
preventing it from ever getting released by cgroup_release_pid_array().
Then if the directory is subsequently removed, cgroup_diput() hits the
BUG_ON() when it finds that the directory's cgroup is still populated with
a pidlist.
The patch simply removes the use_count increment when a matching pidlist
is found by cgroup_pidlist_find(), because it gets bumped by the calling
pidlist_array_load() function while still protected by the list's mutex.

flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a
subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page())
when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would
characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte
(eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at
an address one byte too high.

At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized
by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f4569 gives more freedom to readers,
and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe.
But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always
read-only, they may consume data.
This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw
cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized.
And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe.
Details:
Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection.
The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc)
are not protected by ring buffer.
The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume
these events concurrently:
A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page
(not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten
by the events producer.
B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read,
and this page will be returned to system.
This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives.
These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers
concurrently.
These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access.
Multi read-only access is also serialized.
And we don't use these primitives when we open files,
we only use them when we read files.

The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes
the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and
format output for the event format files.
text data bss dec hex filename

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.
This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.
The total savings of 24k in size.

The calls ftrace_format_##call() and ftrace_define_fields_##call()
are almost duplicate in functionality. With the addition of the
print_fmt in previous patches, these two functions can be merged
into one.
The trace_define_field() defines the fields and links them into
the struct ftrace_event_call. The previous patches introduced
the print_fmt field and this can now be used with the trace_define_field()
to create the event format file fields and print_fmt field.
The struct ftrace_event_call->fields are used to print the fields
The struct ftrace_event_call->print_fmt is used to print
the "print fmt: XXXXXXXXXXX" line.

In the clean up of having all events call one specific function,
the syscall event init was changed to call this helper function.
With the new print_fmt updates, the syscalls need to do special
initializations. This patch converts the syscall events to call
its own init function again.
