commit ede1b4290781ae82ccf0f2ecc6dada8d3dd35779 upstream.

PowerTOP would like to be able to trace timers.

Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the
actual timer function is not recorded in the trace at the start
of timer execution.

Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets
armed), this is not useful; most timers get started early, and a
tracer like PowerTOP will never see this event, but will only
see the actual running of the  timer.

This patch just adds the function to the timer tracing; I've
verified with PowerTOP that now it can get useful information
about timers.

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:

    wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
    wbc_writepage: towrt=0
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-5
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
    wbc_writepage: towrt=-85

This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made.  This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf6bfffd816bdc53682dd46fc34a2cf4 ("vfs: Add
no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

TP_STORE_SIGINFO() forgets about SEND_SIG_FORCED, fix.

We should probably export is_si_special() and change TP_STORE_SIGINFO()
to use it in the longer term.

For CONFIG_PREEMPT=y kernels the sched_switch(.prev_state) argument isn't
useful because we can get preempted with current->state != TASK_RUNNING
without actually getting removed from the runqueue.

Cure this by treating all preempted tasks as runnable from the tracer's
point of view.
