When dumping out the trace data in latency format, a check is made to peek
at the next event to compare its timestamp to the current one, and if the
delta is of a greater size, it will add a marker showing so. But to do this,
it needs to save the current event otherwise peeking at the next event will
remove the current event. To save the event, a temp buffer is used, and if
the event is bigger than the temp buffer, the temp buffer is freed and a
bigger buffer is allocated.

This allocation is a problem when called in atomic context. The only way
this gets called via atomic context is via ftrace_dump(). Thus, use a static
buffer of 128 bytes (which covers most events), and if the event is bigger
than that, simply return NULL. The callers of trace_find_next_entry() need
to handle a NULL case, as that's what would happen if the allocation failed.

There's currently a way to select a task that should only be traced by
functions, but there's no way to select a task not to be traced by the
function tracer. Add a set_ftrace_notrace_pid file that acts the same as
set_ftrace_pid (and is also affected by function-fork), but the task pids in
this file will not be traced even if they are listed in the set_ftrace_pid
file. This makes it easy for tools like trace-cmd to "hide" itself from the
function tracer when it is recording other tasks.

Have the ring_buffer_iterator set a flag if events were dropped as it were
to go and peek at the next event. Have the trace file display this fact if
it happened with a "LOST EVENTS" message.

When opening the "trace" file, it is no longer necessary to disable tracing.

Note, a new option is created called "pause-on-trace", when set, will cause
the trace file to emulate its original behavior.

When the ring buffer was first created, the iterator followed the normal
producer/consumer operations where it had both a peek() operation, that just
returned the event at the current location, and a read(), that would return
the event at the current location and also increment the iterator such that
the next peek() or read() will return the next event.

The only use of the ring_buffer_read() is currently to move the iterator to
the next location and nothing now actually reads the event it returns.
Rename this function to its actual use case to ring_buffer_iter_advance(),
which also adds the "iter" part to the name, which is more meaningful. As
the timestamp returned by ring_buffer_read() was never used, there's no
reason that this new version should bother having returning it. It will also
become a void function.

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating,
it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate
location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable.

There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer
interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to
use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single
copy, this use case will no longer be supported.

Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first
event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first
event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

Clang warns:

../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always
evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are
just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and
does not change the runtime result of the check (tested with some print
statements compiled in with clang + ld.lld and gcc + ld.bfd in QEMU).

Pull tracing and bootconfig updates:
 "Fixes and changes to bootconfig before it goes live in a release.

  Change in API of bootconfig (before it comes live in a release):
  - Have a magic value "BOOTCONFIG" in initrd to know a bootconfig
    exists
  - Set CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG to 'n' by default
  - Show error if "bootconfig" on cmdline but not compiled in
  - Prevent redefining the same value
  - Have a way to append values
  - Added a SELECT BLK_DEV_INITRD to fix a build failure

  Synthetic event fixes:
  - Switch to raw_smp_processor_id() for recording CPU value in preempt
    section. (No care for what the value actually is)
  - Fix samples always recording u64 values
  - Fix endianess
  - Check number of values matches number of fields
  - Fix a printing bug

  Fix of trace_printk() breaking postponed start up tests

  Make a function static that is only used in a single file"

  bootconfig: Prohibit re-defining value on same key
  bootconfig: Print array as multiple commands for legacy command line
  bootconfig: Reject subkey and value on same parent key
  tools/bootconfig: Remove unneeded error message silencer
  bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly

  tracing: Fix number printing bug in print_synth_event()
  tracing: Check that number of vals matches number of synth event fields
  tracing: Make synth_event trace functions endian-correct
  tracing: Make sure synth_event_trace() example always uses u64

The tracing seftests checks various aspects of the tracing infrastructure,
and one is filtering. If trace_printk() is active during a self test, it can
cause the filtering to fail, which will disable that part of the trace.

To keep the selftests from failing because of trace_printk() calls,
trace_printk() checks the variable tracing_selftest_running, and if set, it
does not write to the tracing buffer.

As some tracers were registered earlier in boot, the selftest they triggered
would fail because not all the infrastructure was set up for the full
selftest. Thus, some of the tests were post poned to when their
infrastructure was ready (namely file system code). The postpone code did
not set the tracing_seftest_running variable, and could fail if a
trace_printk() was added and executed during their run.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups
