This partially reverts commit e6e1e25935.
That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which
in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly.
I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and
PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a
padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can
just use this padding field.

It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
queued).

If one or more function probes (like traceon) are enabled,
and there's no other function filter, the first probe
func is skipped (which one depends on the position in the hash).
$ echo sys_open:traceon sys_close:traceon > ./set_ftrace_filter
$ cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
sys_close:traceon:unlimited

The reason was, that in the case of no other function filter,
the func_pos was not properly updated before calling t_hash_start.

In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
8,16 1 1 0.001776503 7509 A WS 1349632 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1347584

8,16 0 2 0.006218192 0 C W 1349632 + 1024 [0]
Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.
With this patch, after a sync write we get:

What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its
default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the
max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies).
When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine
that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal
ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail.
The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self
test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring
buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after
the test is done to save space.

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.
On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.
ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.
The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.
This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.
This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
When creating a new filter, instead of allocating the filter to the
event call first and then processing the filter, it is easier to
process a temporary filter and then just swap it with the call filter.
By doing this, it simplifies the code.
A filter is allocated and processed, when it is done, it is
swapped with the call filter, synchronize_sched() is called to make
sure all callers are done with the old filter (filters are called
with premption disabled), and then the old filter is freed.

Now that the filter logic does not require to save the pred results
on the stack, we can increase the max number of preds we allow.
As the preds are index by a short value, and we use the MSBs as flags
we can increase the max preds to 2^14 (16384) which should be way
more than enough.

There are many cases that a filter will contain multiple ORs or
ANDs together near the leafs. Walking up and down the tree to get
to the next compare can be a waste.
If there are several ORs or ANDs together, fold them into a single
pred and allocate an array of the conditions that they check.
This will speed up the filter by linearly walking an array
and can still break out if a short circuit condition is met.

Since the filter walks a tree to determine if a match is made or not,
