713490e02e Merge branch 'tracing/core' into perf/core
Merge reason: to add event filter support we need the following
commits from the tracing tree:

 3f6fe06: tracing/filters: Unify the regex parsing helpers
 1889d20: tracing/filters: Provide basic regex support
 737f453: tracing/filters: Cleanup useless headers

06f43d66ec ftrace: Copy ftrace_graph_filter boot param using strlcpy
We are using strncpy in the wrong way to copy the ftrace_graph_filter
boot param because we pass the buffer size instead of the max string
size it can contain (buffer size - 1). The end result might not be
NULL terminated as we are abusing the max string size.

Lets use strlcpy() instead.

c44fc77084 tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core
Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.

v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
    avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
    in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

5cb084bb1f tracing: Enable records during the module load
I was debuging some module using "function" and "function_graph"
tracers and noticed, that if you load module after you enabled
tracing, the module's hooks will convert only to NOP instructions.

The attached patch enables modules' hooks if there's function trace
allready on, thus allowing to trace module functions.

3365e77987 lockdep: Use cpu_clock() for lockstat
Some tracepoint magic (TRACE_EVENT(lock_acquired)) relies on
the fact that lock hold times are positive and uses div64 on
that. That triggered a build warning on MIPS, and probably
causes bad output in certain circumstances as well.

Make it truly positive.

d25105e891 writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowait
It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked
due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter.

There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.

If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

fdc6f192e7 NOHZ: update idle state also when NOHZ is inactive
Commit f2e21c9610 had unfortunate side
effects with cpufreq governors on some systems.

If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor
all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle
accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors.

Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep
the idle time accounting correct in any case.

978c0b8814 rcu: Place root rcu_node structure in separate lockdep class
Before this patch, all of the rcu_node structures were in the same lockdep
class, so that lockdep would complain when rcu_preempt_offline_tasks()
acquired the root rcu_node structure's lock while holding one of the leaf
rcu_nodes' locks.

This patch changes rcu_init_one() to use a separate
spin_lock_init() for the root rcu_node structure's lock than is
used for that of all of the rest of the rcu_node structures, which
puts the root rcu_node structure's lock in its own lockdep class.

e74f4c4564 rcu: Make hot-unplugged CPU relinquish its own RCU callbacks
The current interaction between RCU and CPU hotplug requires that
RCU block in CPU notifiers waiting for callbacks to drain.

This can be greatly simplified by having each CPU relinquish its
own callbacks, and for both _rcu_barrier() and CPU_DEAD notifiers
to adopt all callbacks that were previously relinquished.

This change also eliminates the possibility of certain types of
hangs due to the previous practice of waiting for callbacks to be
invoked from within CPU notifiers.  If you don't every wait, you
cannot hang.

d0ec774cb2 rcu: Move rcu_barrier() to rcutree
Move the existing rcu_barrier() implementation to rcutree.c,
consistent with the fact that the rcu_barrier() implementation is
tied quite tightly to the RCU implementation.

This opens the way to simplify and fix rcutree.c's rcu_barrier()
implementation in a later patch.

322a2c100a futex: Move exit_pi_state() call to release_mm()
exit_pi_state() is called from do_exit() but not from do_execve().
Move it to release_mm() so it gets called from do_execve() as well.

fc6b177dee futex: Nullify robust lists after cleanup
The robust list pointers of user space held futexes are kept intact
over an exec() call. When the exec'ed task exits exit_robust_list() is
called with the stale pointer. The risk of corruption is minimal, but
still it is incorrect to keep the pointers valid. Actually glibc
should uninstall the robust list before calling exec() but we have to
deal with it anyway.

Nullify the pointers after [compat_]exit_robust_list() has been
called.

b0f56f1a63 trace: Fix missing assignment in trace_ctxwake_*
The state char variable S should be reassigned, if S == 0.

We are missing the state of the task that is going to sleep for the
context switch events (in the raw mode).

Fortunately the problem arises with the sched_switch/wake_up
tracers, not the sched trace events.

The formers are legacy now. But still, that was buggy.

906010b213 perf_event: Provide vmalloc() based mmap() backing
Some architectures such as Sparc, ARM and MIPS (basically
everything with flush_dcache_page()) need to deal with dcache
aliases by carefully placing pages in both kernel and user maps.

These architectures typically have to use vmalloc_user() for this.

However, on other architectures, vmalloc() is not needed and has
the downsides of being more restricted and slower than regular
allocations.

eaaea8036d futex: Fix locking imbalance
Rich reported a lock imbalance in the futex code:

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14288

It's caused by the displacement of the retry_private label in
futex_wake_op(). The code unlocks the hash bucket locks in the
error handling path and retries without locking them again which
makes the next unlock fail.

Move retry_private so we lock the hash bucket locks when we retry.

d014e8894d panic: Fix panic message visibility by calling bust_spinlocks(0) before dying
Commit ffd71da4e3 ("panic: decrease oops_in_progress only after
having done the panic") moved bust_spinlocks(0) to the end of the
function, which in practice is never reached.

As a result console_unblank() is not called, and on some systems
the user may not see the panic message.

Move it back up to before the unblanking.
