Patch series "relayfs: misc changes", v5.
The series mostly focuses on the error counters which helps every user
debug their own kernel module.
This patch (of 5):
prev_padding represents the unused space of certain subbuffer. If the
content of a call of relay_write() exceeds the limit of the remainder of
this subbuffer, it will skip storing in the rest space and record the
start point as buf->prev_padding in relay_switch_subbuf(). Since the buf
is a per-cpu big buffer, the point of prev_padding as a global value for
the whole buffer instead of a single subbuffer (whose padding info is
stored in buf->padding[]) seems meaningless from the real use cases, so we
don't bother to record it any more.

Filesystems like XFS can implement atomic write I/O using either
REQ_ATOMIC flag set in the bio or via CoW operation. It will be useful
if we have a flag in trace events to distinguish between the two. This
patch adds char 'U' (Untorn writes) to rwbs field of the trace events
if REQ_ATOMIC flag is set in the bio.

Various places like I/O schedulers or the QOS infrastructure try to
register debugfs files on demans, which can race with creating and
removing the main queue debugfs directory. Use the existing
debugfs_mutex to serialize all debugfs operations that rely on
q->debugfs_dir or the directories hanging off it.
To make the teardown code a little simpler declare all debugfs dentry
pointers and not just the main one uncoditionally in blkdev.h.

The running_trace_lock protects running_trace_list and is acquired
within the tracepoint which implies disabled preemption. The spinlock_t
typed lock can not be acquired with disabled preemption on PREEMPT_RT
because it becomes a sleeping lock.
The runtime of the tracepoint depends on the number of entries in
running_trace_list and has no limit. The blk-tracer is considered debug
code and higher latencies here are okay.
Make running_trace_lock a raw_spinlock_t.

PC field
- Fix handling of unregistering event failing due to allocate memory.
This is only triggered by failure injection, as it is pretty much

- Do not show the useless "filter" or "enable" files for the "ftrace"
trace system, as they have no effect on doing anything.
- Add a warning if kprobes are registered more than once.
- Synthetic events now have their fields parsed by semicolons. Old
formats without semicolons will still work, but new features will
require them.
- New option to allow trace events to show %p without hashing in trace
file. The trace file can only be read by root, and reading the raw
event buffer did not have any pointers hashed, so this does not
expose anything new.
- New directory in tools called tools/tracing, where a new tool that
reads sequential latency reports from the ftrace latency tracers.
- Other minor fixes and cleanups.

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.
The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).
The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.
Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.
This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.
As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
-> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
-> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config
option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.
Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a
struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture
has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will
have enough information to read the arguments of the function being
traced, as well as access to the stack pointer.
This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the
arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback,
that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate
a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes).
A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring
buffer at most every event recorded.
Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection
to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
callbacks).
Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace
to do it for it (saving on that extra function call).
New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that
lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the
function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as
recursion slows down the function tracer.
The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a
work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
