Fix the following sparse warning:

<title>tracing: Fix the race between registering 'snapshot' event trigger and triggering 'snapshot' operation</title>

<content type='text'>
Traced event can trigger 'snapshot' operation(i.e. calls snapshot_trigger()
or snapshot_count_trigger()) when register_snapshot_trigger() has completed
registration but doesn't allocate buffer for 'snapshot' event trigger.  In
the rare case, 'snapshot' operation always detects the lack of allocated
buffer so make register_snapshot_trigger() allocate buffer first.

trigger-snapshot.tc in kselftest reproduces the issue on slow vm:

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.

     The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and
     reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace
     file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to
     just disable writes to the ring buffer.

     This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost
     events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants
     to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace"
     that can be set.

   - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be
     traced by the function tracer.

     Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only
     trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid
     does the reverse.

   - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
     not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.

     Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note,
     sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of
     the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed
     to be traced.

  Tracing related features:

   - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.

     If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is
     searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.

   - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
     off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)

  And other minor updates and fixes"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.

     The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and
     reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace
     file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to
     just disable writes to the ring buffer.

     This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost
     events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants
     to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace"
     that can be set.

   - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be
     traced by the function tracer.

     Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only
     trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid
     does the reverse.

   - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
     not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.

     Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note,
     sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of
     the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed
     to be traced.

  Tracing related features:

   - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.

     If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is
     searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.

   - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
     off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)

  And other minor updates and fixes"

<title>tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic</title>

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 have its events
traced, but there's no way to select a task not to have itsevents traced.
Add a set_event_notrace_pid file that acts the same as set_event_pid (and is
also affected by event-fork), but the task pids in this file will not be
traced even if they are listed in the set_event_pid file. This makes it easy
for tools like trace-cmd to "hide" itself from beint traced by events when
it is recording other tasks.
