Prevent from further ftrace_start_up inbalances so that we avoid

This snapshot has been taken while neither the function tracer nor
the function graph tracer was running.
With dynamic ftrace, such results show a wrong ftrace behaviour
because all calls to ftrace_caller or ftrace_graph_caller (the patched
calls to mcount) are supposed to be patched into nop if none of those
tracers are running.
The problem occurs after the first run of the function tracer. Once we
launch it a second time, the callsites will never be nopped back,
unless you set custom filters.
For example it happens during the self tests at boot time.
The function tracer selftest runs, and then the dynamic tracing is
tested too. After that, the callsites are left un-nopped.
This is because the reset callback of the function tracer tries to
unregister two ftrace callbacks in once: the common function tracer
and the function tracer with stack backtrace, regardless of which
one is currently in use.
It then creates an unbalance on ftrace_start_up value which is expected
to be zero when the last ftrace callback is unregistered. When it
reaches zero, the FTRACE_DISABLE_CALLS is set on the next ftrace
command, triggering the patching into nop. But since it becomes
unbalanced, ie becomes lower than zero, if the kernel functions
are patched again (as in every further function tracer runs), they
won't ever be nopped back.
Note that ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are still patched back
to ftrace_stub in the off case, but not the callers of ftrace_call
and ftrace_graph_caller. It means that the tracing is well deactivated
but we waste a useless call into every kernel function.
This patch just unregisters the right ftrace_ops for the function
tracer on its reset callback and ignores the other one which is
not registered, fixing the unbalance. The problem also happens
is .30

Currently the output of the ring buffer benchmark/test prints to
the console. This test runs for ten seconds every ten seconds and
ouputs the result after every iteration. This needlessly fills up
the logs.
This patch makes the ring buffer benchmark/test print to the ftrace
buffer using trace_printk. To view the test results, you must examine
the debug/tracing/trace file.

If ftrace_dump_on_oops is set, and an NMI detects a lockup, then it
will need to read from the ring buffer. But the read side of the
ring buffer still takes locks. This patch adds a check on the read
side that if it is in an NMI, then it will disable the ring buffer
and not take any locks.
Reads can still happen on a disabled ring buffer.

The ring buffer must have at least two pages allocated for the
reader page swap to work.
The page count check will miss the case of a zero size passed in.
Even though a zero size ring buffer would probably fail an allocation,
making the min size check for less than two instead of equal to one makes
the code a bit more robust.

The original version of the ring buffer had a hack to map the
page struct that held the pages of the buffer to also be the structure
that the ring buffer would keep the pages in a link list.
This overlap of the page struct was very dangerous and that hack was
removed a while ago.
But there was a check to make sure the buffer_page never became bigger
than the page struct, and would fail the compile if it did. The
check was only meaningful when we had the hack. Now that we have separate
allocated descriptors for the buffer pages, we can remove this check.

A check if "write > BUF_PAGE_SIZE" is done right after a

The index of the event is found by masking PAGE_MASK to it and
subtracting the header size. Currently the header size is calculate
by PAGE_SIZE - BUF_PAGE_SIZE, when we already have a macro
BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE to define it.
If we want to change BUF_PAGE_SIZE to something less than filling
the rest of the page (this is done for debugging), then we break
the algorithm to find the index.

Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is
protected by filter_mutex. This leads to the race:
echo 'bar == 0 || bar == 10' \ |
> sample/filter |
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("bar == 0") |
-> n_preds == 1 |
add_pred("bar == 100") |
-> n_preds == 2 |
| rmmod sample.ko
| insmod sample.ko
add_pred("&&") |
-> n_preds == 1 (should be 3) |
Now event->filter->preds is corrupted. An then when filter_match_preds()
is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered.
To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.

The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers.
The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to
get.
The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index
of the last committed write respectively.
The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index
of the last reserved data respectively (non committed).
The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer.
If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward.
The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most
writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where
the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested
writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and
even the commit forward.
The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the
accounting will break.
This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers
to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start
of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter
is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for
races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer
commit should move the pointers anyway.
The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update
is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less
racey than the commit updates.
This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the
code simpler.

ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded area
The ring buffer may now add discarded events when a write passes
the end of a buffer page. Before, a discarded event was only added
when the tracer deliberately created one. The ring buffer benchmark
test does not handle discarded events when it reads the buffer and
fails when it encounters one.
Also fix the increment for large data entries (luckily, the test did
not add any yet).

This a very tight race where an interrupt could come in and not
have enough data to put into the end of a buffer page, and that
it would fail to write and need to go to the next page.
But if this happened when another writer was about to reserver
their data, and that writer has smaller data to reserve, then
it could succeed even though the interrupt moved the tail page.
To pervent that, if we fail to store data, and by subtracting the
amount we reserved we still have room for smaller data, we need
to fill that space with "discarded" data.

It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed.
This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo:
