<content type='text'>
This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap
locking API instead.

The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:

// spatch --sp-file mmap_lock_api.cocci --in-place --include-headers --dir .

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.

<title>tracing: Have hwlat ts be first instance and record count of instances</title>

The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then
reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But
this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it
actually triggered.

Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as
well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window.

<id>urn:sha1:1c5eb4481e0151d579f738175497f998840f7bbc</id>
<content type='text'>
As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.

As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

<title>tracing: Use seq_buf_hex_dump() to dump buffers</title>

<content type='text'>
Without this, buffers can be printed with __print_array macro that has
no formatting options and can be hard to read. The other way is to
mimic formatting capability with multiple calls of trace event with one
call per row which gives performance impact and different timestamp in
each row.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Eiichi Tsukata found a small bug from the fixup of the stack code

  Removing ULONG_MAX as the marker for the user stack trace end, made
  the tracing code not know where the end is. The end is now marked with
  a zero (NULL) pointer. Eiichi fixed this in the tracing code"

<content type='text'>
Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX
marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but
trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary
"??".

For example:

            less-1911  [001] d..2    34.758944: &lt;user stack trace&gt;
   =&gt;  &lt;00007f16f2295910&gt;
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??

The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if
the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate
the print loop if a zero entry is detected.

trace_seq_printf(..., "%s", ...) can be done with trace_seq_puts()
instead, avoiding printf overhead. In the second instance, the string
we're copying was just created from an snprintf() to a stack buffer, so
we might as well do that printf directly. This naturally leads to moving
the declaration of the str buffer inside the CONFIG_KALLSYMS guard,
which in turn will make gcc inline the function for !CONFIG_KALLSYMS (it
only has a single caller, but the huge stack frame seems to make gcc not
inline it for CONFIG_KALLSYMS).
