Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This set has a few minor updates, but the big change is the redesign
  of the trampoline logic.

  The trampoline logic of 3.17 required a descriptor for every function
  that is registered to be traced and uses a trampoline.  Currently,
  only the function graph tracer uses a trampoline, but if you were to
  trace all 32,000 (give or take a few thousand) functions with the
  function graph tracer, it would create 32,000 descriptors to let us
  know that there's a trampoline associated with it.  This takes up a
  bit of memory when there's a better way to do it.

  The redesign now reuses the ftrace_ops' (what registers the function
  graph tracer) hash tables.  The hash tables tell ftrace what the
  tracer wants to trace or doesn't want to trace.  There's two of them:
  one that tells us what to trace, the other tells us what not to trace.
  If the first one is empty, it means all functions should be traced,
  otherwise only the ones that are listed should be.  The second hash
  table tells us what not to trace, and if it is empty, all functions
  may be traced, and if there's any listed, then those should not be
  traced even if they exist in the first hash table.

  It took a bit of massaging, but now these hashes can be used to keep
  track of what has a trampoline and what does not, and allows the
  ftrace accounting to work.  Now we can trace all functions when using
  the function graph trampoline, and avoid needing to create any special
  descriptors to hold all the functions that are being traced"

Peter's new debugging tool triggers when tasks exit with !TASK_RUNNING.
The code in trace_wakeup_test_thread() also has a single schedule() call
that should be encompassed by a loop.

This cleans up the code a little to make it a bit more robust and
also makes the return exit properly with TASK_RUNNING.

The pending nested sleep debugging triggered on the potential stale
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE in this code.

While there, fix the loop such that we won't revert to a while(1)
yield() 'spin' loop if we ever get a spurious wakeup.

And fix the actual issue by properly terminating the 'wait' loop by
setting TASK_RUNNING.

Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page"
fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to
update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached
reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator
needs to be updated or not.

A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer
but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening.
Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only
synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may
be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when
its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read
occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer.

The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since
its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the
last counts of the read and the reader page itself.

Commit 651e22f2701b changed what was saved by the cache_read when
the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache.
Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an
infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset
and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which
should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the
current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from
having access to the data.

<title>init/main.c: Give init_task a canary</title>

Tasks get their end of stack set to STACK_END_MAGIC with the
aim to catch stack overruns. Currently this feature does not
apply to init_task. This patch removes this restriction.

Note that a similar patch was posted by Prarit Bhargava
some time ago but was never merged:

<title>sched, cleanup, treewide: Remove set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after schedule()</title>

schedule(), io_schedule() and schedule_timeout() always return
with TASK_RUNNING state set, so one more setting is unnecessary.

(All places in patch are visible good, only exception is
 kiblnd_scheduler() from:

      drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c

 Its schedule() is one line above standard 3 lines of unified diff)

No places where set_current_state() is used for mb().

<title>ftrace: Only disable ftrace_enabled to test buffer in selftest</title>

The ftrace_enabled variable is set to zero in the self tests to keep
delayed functions from being traced and messing with the checks. This
only needs to be done when the checks are being performed, otherwise,
if ftrace_enabled is off when calls back to the utility that is being
tested, it can cause errors to happen and the tests can fail with
false positives.
