Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "A regression showed up that there's a large delay when enabling all
  events.  This was prevalent when FTRACE_SELFTEST was enabled which
  enables all events several times, and caused the system bootup to
  pause for over a minute.

  This was tracked down to an addition of a synchronize_sched()
  performed when system call tracepoints are unregistered.

  The synchronize_sched() is needed between the unregistering of the
  system call tracepoint and a deletion of a tracing instance buffer.
  But placing the synchronize_sched() in the unreg of *every* system
  call tracepoint is a bit overboard.  A single synchronize_sched()
  before the deletion of the instance is sufficient"

It has been reported that boot up with FTRACE_SELFTEST enabled can take a
very long time. There can be stalls of over a minute.

This was tracked down to the synchronize_sched() called when a system call
event is disabled. As the self tests enable and disable thousands of events,
this makes the synchronize_sched() get called thousands of times.

The synchornize_sched() was added with d562aff93bfb53 "tracing: Add support
for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events" which caused this regression (added
in 3.13-rc1).

The synchronize_sched() is to protect against the events being accessed
when a tracer instance is being deleted. When an instance is being deleted
all the events associated to it are unregistered. The synchronize_sched()
makes sure that no more users are running when it finishes.

Instead of calling synchronize_sched() for all syscall events, we only
need to call it once, after the events are unregistered and before the
instance is deleted. The event_mutex is held during this action to
prevent new users from enabling events.

If CONFIG_NO_HZ=n tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ.

If CONFIG_NO_HZ=y and the nohz functionality is disabled via the
command line option "nohz=off" or not enabled due to missing hardware
support, then tick_nohz_get_sleep_length() returns 0. That happens
because ts-&gt;sleep_length is never set in that case.

Set it to NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ when the NOHZ mode is inactive.
