Now that the irq path uses the rcu_nmi_{enter,exit}() algorithm,
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() may be used from any context.  There is
thus no need for rcu_irq_enter_disabled() and for the checks using it.
This commit therefore eliminates rcu_irq_enter_disabled().

<title>tracing: define TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() macro to map sizeof's to their values</title>

Perf has a problem that if sizeof() macros are used within TRACE_EVENT()
macro's they end up in userspace as "sizeof(kernel structure)" which
cannot properly be parsed. Add a macro which can forward this data
through the eval_map for userspace utilization.

<title>tracing: Make sure rcu_irq_enter() can work for trace_*_rcuidle() trace events</title>

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU
infrastructure where calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events
use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check
against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace
event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered,
then the trace event is ignored.

Restructure the __DO_TRACE() a bit to get rid of the prercu and postrcu,
and just have an rcucheck that does the work from within the _DO_TRACE()
macro. gcc optimization will compile out the rcucheck=0 case.

Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function
must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the
tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know
why the tracepoint is not working.

<title>tracing: Fix check for cpu online when event is disabled</title>

Commit f37755490fe9b ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added
a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is
online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection.

Commit 3a630178fd5f3 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints
are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that
are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if
a trace event was enabled. Commit f37755490fe9b only stopped the warnings
when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace
event was called when disabled.

To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added
to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that
it may be used now and in the future.

The tracepoint infrastructure uses RCU sched protection to enable and
disable tracepoints safely. There are some instances where tracepoints are
used in infrastructure code (like kfree()) that get called after a CPU is
going offline, and perhaps when it is coming back online but hasn't been
registered yet.

This can probuce the following warning:

 [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]

 -------------------------------
 include/trace/events/kmem.h:141 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

 other info that might help us debug this:

This warning is not a false positive either. RCU is not protecting code that
is being executed while the CPU is offline.

Instead of playing "whack-a-mole(TM)" and adding conditional statements to
the tracepoints we find that are used in this instance, simply add a
cpu_online() test to the tracepoint code where the tracepoint will be
ignored if the CPU is offline.

Use of raw_smp_processor_id() is fine, as there should never be a case where
the tracepoint code goes from running on a CPU that is online and suddenly
gets migrated to a CPU that is offline.

 "Not much new with tracing for this release.  Mostly just clean ups and
  minor fixes.

  Here's what else is new:

   - A new TRACE_EVENT_FN_COND macro, combining both _FN and _COND for
     those that want both.

   - New selftest to test the instance create and delete

   - Better debug output when ftrace fails"

   - Introduce the 'perf stat record/report' workflow:

     Generate perf.data files from 'perf stat', to tap into the
     scripting capabilities perf has instead of defining a 'perf stat'
     specific scripting support to calculate event ratios, etc.

     Simple example:

        $ perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1

         Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

               1,134,996      cycles

             0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

        $ perf stat report

         Performance counter stats for '/home/acme/bin/perf stat record -e cycles usleep 1':

               1,134,996      cycles

             0.000670644 seconds time elapsed

        $

     It generates PERF_RECORD_ userspace records to store the details:

        $ perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD
        0xf0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_THREAD_MAP nr: 1 thread: 27637
        0x118 [0x12]: PERF_RECORD_CPU_MAP nr: 1 cpu: 65535

        -1 -1 0x19a [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff81000000(0x1f000000) @ 0xffffffff81000000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text
        0x1da [0x18]: PERF_RECORD_STAT_ROUND
        [acme@ssdandy linux]$

     An effort was made to make perf.data files generated like this to
     not generate cryptic messages when processed by older tools.

     The 'perf script' bits need rebasing, will go up later.

   - Make command line options always available, even when they depend
     on some feature being enabled, warning the user about use of such
     options (Wang Nan)

   - Support hw breakpoint events (mem:0xAddress) in the default output
     mode in 'perf script' (Wang Nan)

   - Fixes and improvements for supporting annotating ARM binaries,
     support ARM call and jump instructions, more work needed to have
     arch specific stuff separated into tools/perf/arch/*/annotate/
     (Russell King)

   - Add initial 'perf config' command, for now just with a --list
     command to the contents of the configuration file in use and a
     basic man page describing its format, commands for doing edits and
     detailed documentation are being reviewed and proof-read.  (Taeung
     Song)

   - Allows BPF scriptlets specify arguments to be fetched using DWARF
     info, using a prologue generated at compile/build time (He Kuang,
     Wang Nan)

   - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to module symbols (Wang Nan)

   - Allow attaching BPF scriptlets to userspace code using uprobe (Wang
     Nan)

   - BPF programs now can specify 'perf probe' tunables via its section
     name, separating key=val values using semicolons (Wang Nan)

     Testing some of these new BPF features:

        Use case: get callchains when receiving SSL packets, filter then in the
                  kernel, at arbitrary place.

        # cat ssl.bpf.c

        #

   - Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
     variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
     collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
     'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
     explodes, please tell us!

   - Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
     representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
     facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
     as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

     E.g:

        # perf report | grep -v ^# | head
           18.37%     0.00%  swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpu_startup_entry

                              |
                              |--12.07%--start_secondary
                              |
                               --6.30%--rest_init
                                         start_kernel
                                         x86_64_start_reservations
                                         x86_64_start_kernel

   - Use 'perf probe' various options to list functions, see what
     variables can be collected at any given point, experiment first
     collecting without a filter, then filter, use it together with
     'perf trace', 'perf top', with or without callchains, if it
     explodes, please tell us!

   - Introduce a new callchain mode: "folded", that will list per line
     representations of all callchains for a give histogram entry,
     facilitating 'perf report' output processing by other tools, such
     as Brendan Gregg's flamegraph tools (Namhyung Kim)

     E.g:

        # perf report | grep -v ^# | head
           18.37%     0.00%  swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpu_startup_entry
                           |
                           ---cpu_startup_entry
                              |
                              |--12.07%--start_secondary
                              |
                               --6.30%--rest_init
                                         start_kernel
                                         x86_64_start_reservations
                                         x86_64_start_kernel
         #

     Becomes, in "folded" mode:

        # perf report -g folded | grep -v ^# | head -5
            18.37%     0.00%  swapper [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpu_startup_entry
          12.07% cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
           6.30% cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
            16.90%     0.00%  swapper [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] call_cpuidle
          11.23% call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
           5.67% call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
            16.90%     0.00%  swapper [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpuidle_enter
          11.23% cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;start_secondary
           5.67% cpuidle_enter;call_cpuidle;cpu_startup_entry;rest_init;start_kernel;x86_64_start_reservations;x86_64_start_kernel
            15.12%     0.00%  swapper [kernel.kallsyms]   [k] cpuidle_enter_state
         #

     The user can also select one of "count", "period" or "percent" as
     the first column.

  ... and lots of infrastructure enhancements, plus fixes and other
  changes, features I failed to list - see the shortlog and the git log
  for details"

<title>tracing: Introduce TRACE_EVENT_FN_COND macro</title>

TRACE_EVENT_FN can't be used in some circumstances
like invoking trace functions from offlined CPU due
to RCU usage.

This patch adds the TRACE_EVENT_FN_COND macro
to make such trace points conditional.
