The wakeup selftest used an internal API for setting the test task priority.
This patch fixes it to use the proper API for performing such a task.
Thanks goes to Randy Dunlap for pointing out this build failure.

The conversion of task states to a character in the sched_switch tracer (part
of latency tracer infrastructure), seems to be incorrect. We currently do it
by indexing into the state_to_char array using the state value. The state
values do not map directly into the array index and are thus incorrect. The
following patch addresses this issue. This is also what is being done even
in the show_task() routine in kernel/sched.c
The patch has been compile and run tested.

There is a slight race condition in the selftest where the max update
of the wakeup and irqs/preemption off tests can be doing a max update as
the buffers are being tested. If this happens the system can crash with
a GPF.
This patch adds the max update spinlock around the checking of the
buffers to prevent such a race.

If the trace output changes on reading the trace files, there is a chance
that the start function will return NULL. If the start function of a sequence
returns NULL the stop equivalent is not called. In this case, all locks
that are taken must be released even if they are released in the stop function.
This patch fixes a case that a mutex was not released on return of NULL
in the start sequence function.

When dynamic ftrace fails and sets itself disabled, the ftraced daemon
will go back to sleep everytime it wakes up. The setting of the
ftraced state to UNINTERRUPTIBLE is skipped in this process, and the
daemon takes up 100% of the CPU. This patch makes sure the ftraced daemon
sets itself to UNINTERRUPTIBLE in that loop.

Lock debugging enabled cause huge performance problems for tracing. Having

because mcount calls spin_lock can cripple the system.

This patch changes the use of __get_cpu_var to explicitly calling
raw_smp_processor_id and using the per_cpu() macro. On some debug
configurations, the use of __get_cpu_var may cause ftrace to trigger
and this can cause problems with the irqsoff tracing.

With the adding of the configuration changes in the Makefile to prevent
tracing of functions in the ftrace code, all tracing of all the ftrace
code has been removed. Unfortunately, one of the selftests, relied on
a function to be traced. With the new change, the function was no longer
traced and the test failed.
This patch separates out the test function into its own file so that
we can add the "-pg" flag to the compilation of that function and the
adding of the mcount call to that function.

printk called from wakeup critical timings and irqs off can
cause deadlocks since printk might do a wakeup itself. If the
call to printk happens with the runqueue lock held, it can
deadlock.
This patch protects the printk from being called in trace irqs off
with a test to see if the runqueue for the current CPU is locked.
If it is locked, the printk is skipped.
The wakeup always holds the runqueue lock, so the printk is
simply removed.

PowerPC is very fragile when it comes to use of function names
and function addresses. ftrace needs to either use all function
addresses or function names (i.e. my_func as suppose to &my_func).
This patch chooses to use the names and not the addresses, and
makes ftrace consistent.

A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU
trace buffer is disabled. Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to
write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes
these calls into a nop.
This patch changes the __ftrace that is called without the check into a
new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other
tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already
disabled.

anomaly, we want to fully disable ftrace. This patch adds code
to try shutdown ftrace as much as possible without doing any more
harm is something is detected not quite correct.

the tracer (irqsoff, wakeup, etc.).

The ftrace dynamic function update allocates a record to store the
instruction pointers that are being modified. If the modified
instruction pointer fails to update, then the record is marked as
failed and nothing more is done.
Worse, if the modification fails, but the record ip function is still
called, it will allocate a new record and try again. In just a matter
of time, will this cause a serious memory leak and crash the system.
This patch plugs this memory leak. When a record fails, it is
included back into the pool of records to be used. Now a record may
fail over and over again, but the number of allocated records will
not increase.
