Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86
This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64.
Both static and dynamic tracing are supported.
This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I
wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address
saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion.
That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these
function for other archs ports.
Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first
thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I
believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the
case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer).
So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to
enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at
this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags).
A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the
tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not
initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and,
after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to
trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I
hadn't problems with it.

There were some early init code that was not safe for static
ftrace to boot on my PowerBook. This code must only use relative

powerpc: ftrace, do nothing in mcount call for dyn ftrace
Impact: quicken mcount calls that are not replaced by dyn ftrace
Dynamic ftrace no longer does on the fly recording of mcount locations.
The mcount locations are now found at compile time. The mcount
function no longer needs to store registers and call a stub function.
It can now just simply return.
Since there are some functions that do not get converted to a nop
(.init sections and other code that may disappear), this patch should
help speed up that code.
Also, the stub for mcount on PowerPC 32 can not be a simple branch
link register like it is on PowerPC 64. According to the ABI specification:
"The _mcount routine is required to restore the link register from
the stack so that the profiling code can be inserted transparently,
whether or not the profiled function saves the link register itself."
This means that we must restore the link register that was used
to make the call to mcount. The minimal mcount function for PPC32
ends up being:
Where we move the link register used to call mcount into the
ctr register, and then restore the link register from the stack.
Then we use the ctr register to jump back to the mcount caller.
The r0 register is free for us to use.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: enhancements for the trace output
Impact: enhance the output of the graph-tracer
This patch applies some ideas of Ingo Molnar and Steven Rostedt.
* Output leaf functions in one line with parenthesis, semicolon and duration
output.
* Add a second column (after cpu) for an overhead sign.
if duration > 100 us, "!"
if duration > 10 us, "+"
else " "
* Print output in us with remaining nanosec: u.n
* Print duration on the right end, following the indentation of the functions.
Use also visual clues: "-" on entry call (no duration to output) and "+" on
return (duration output).
The name of the tracer has been fixed as well: function-branch becomes
function_branch.
Here is an example of the new output:

tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output
Impact: feature
This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.
The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.
Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
some locations.
We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
way of processing is much more simpler.
2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.
I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).

high part of eax could contain junk values...

- idle init: same as fork

function tracing: fix wrong position computing of stack_trace
Impact: make output of stack_trace complete if buffer overruns
When read buffer overruns, the output of stack_trace isn't complete.
When printing records with seq_printf in t_show, if the read buffer
has overruned by the current record, then this record won't be
printed to user space through read buffer, it will just be dropped in
this printing.
When next printing, t_start should return the "*pos"th record, which
is the one dropped by previous printing, but it just returns
(m->private + *pos)th record.
Here we use a more sane method to implement seq_operations which can
be found in kernel code. Thus we needn't initialize m->private.
About testing, it's not easy to overrun read buffer, but we can use
seq_printf to print more padding bytes in t_show, then it's easy to
check whether or not records are lost.

x86: Fix interrupt leak due to migration
When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the
move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not
being used. If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors
become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes
the interrupt to become unusable.
This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an
MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded
and reloaded repeatedly.

SUNRPC: Fix a performance regression in the RPC authentication code
Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling
showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in
rpcauth_lookup_credcache.
It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups,
generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info
pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number
of identical credentials at the RPC layer.
The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info
if the actual pointers are not identical.
