Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS.
We move the 'cpumask' member of sched_group to the end, so when we
kmalloc it we can do a minimal allocation: saves space for small
nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Similar trick for 'span' in
sched_domain.
This isn't quite as good as converting to a cpumask_var_t, as some

Impact: modify+improve the userstacktrace tracing visualization feature
Store thread group leader id, and use it to lookup the address in the
process's map. We could have looked up the address on thread's map,
but the thread might not exist by the time we are called. The process
might not exist either, but if you are reading trace_pipe, that is
unlikely.
Example usage:
mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
echo userstacktrace >iter_ctrl
echo sym-userobj >iter_ctrl
echo sched_switch >current_tracer
echo 1 >tracing_enabled
cat trace_pipe >/tmp/trace&
.... run application ...
echo 0 >tracing_enabled
cat /tmp/trace
You'll see stack entries like:
/lib/libpthread-2.7.so[+0xd370]
You can convert them to function/line using:
addr2line -fie /lib/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370
Or:
addr2line -fie /usr/lib/debug/libpthread-2.7.so 0xd370
For non-PIC/PIE executables this won't work:
a.out[+0x73b]
You need to run the following: addr2line -fie a.out 0x40073b
(where 0x400000 is the default load address of a.out)

Then read one of 'trace','latency_trace','trace_pipe'.

Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Impact: make output of stack_trace complete if buffer overruns
When read buffer overruns, the output of stack_trace isn't complete.
When printing records with seq_printf in t_show, if the read buffer
has overruned by the current record, then this record won't be
printed to user space through read buffer, it will just be dropped in
this printing.
When next printing, t_start should return the "*pos"th record, which
is the one dropped by previous printing, but it just returns
(m->private + *pos)th record.
Here we use a more sane method to implement seq_operations which can
be found in kernel code. Thus we needn't initialize m->private.
About testing, it's not easy to overrun read buffer, but we can use
seq_printf to print more padding bytes in t_show, then it's easy to
check whether or not records are lost.
This commit has been tested on both condition of overrun and non
overrun.
