The file_ops struct for the "trace" special file defined llseek as seq_lseek().
However, if the file was opened for writing only, seq_open() was not called,
and the seek would dereference a null pointer, file->private_data.
This patch introduces a new wrapper for seq_lseek() which checks if the file
descriptor is opened for reading first. If not, it does nothing.

Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:
field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
Now we get:
field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
Something much more useful.

This adds a new trace event internal flag that allows them to be
used in perf by non privileged users in case of task bound tracing.
This is desired for syscalls tracepoint because they don't leak
global system informations, like some other tracepoints.

The user stack trace can fault when examining the trace. Which
would call the do_page_fault handler, which would trace again,
which would do the user stack trace, which would fault and call
do_page_fault again ...
Thus this is causing a recursive bug. We need to have a recursion
detector here.

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left
at this point is:
- various checks inside the block layer.
- sanity checks in bio based drivers.
- now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
- Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
- setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
drivers.
- scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
- blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace
better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

There's a condition to check if we should add a time extend or
not in the fast path. But this condition is racey (in the sense
that we can add a unnecessary time extend, but nothing that
can break anything). We later check if the time or event time
delta should be zero or have real data in it (not racey), making
this first check redundant.
This check may help save space once in a while, but really is
not worth the hassle to try to save some space that happens at
most 134 ms at a time.

When the time between two timestamps is greater than
2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends
the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to
events only having a 27 bit field to store time.
Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before
the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before
the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as
with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been
committed, it will stay in the buffer.
If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being
written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer
without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer
with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event
in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can
only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning.
This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here
is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added.
Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on
the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The
time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and
the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed
back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function
to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the
ring buffer interface need to be made.
When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and
the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can
be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend.
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting this idea.

The delta between events is passed to the timestamp code by reference
and the timestamp code will reset the value. But it can be reset
from the caller. No need to pass it in by reference.
By changing the call to pass by value, lets gcc optimize the code
a bit more where it can store the delta in a register and not
worry about updating the reference.

The original code for the ring buffer had locations that modified
the timestamp and that change was used by the callers. Now,
the timestamp is not reused by the callers and there is no reason
to pass it by reference.

Gcc inlines the slow path of the ring buffer write which can
hurt performance. This patch simply forces the slow path function
rb_move_tail() to always be a function.
The ring_buffer_benchmark module with reader_disabled=1 shows that
this patch changes the time to record an event from 135 ns to
132 ns. (3 ns or 2.22% improvement)

The function start_func_tracer() was incorrectly added in the
#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER condition, but is still used even
when function tracing is not enabled.
The calls to register_ftrace_function() and register_ftrace_graph()
become nops (and their arguments are even ignored), thus there is
no reason to hide start_func_tracer() when function tracing is
not enabled.

'st-ux' and 'unwind' into devel

Even though the parent is recorded with the normal function tracing
of the latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup), the function graph
recording is bogus.
This is due to the function graph messing with the return stack.
The latency tracers pass in as the parent CALLER_ADDR0, which
works fine for plain function tracing. But this causes bogus output
with the graph tracer:
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | trace_hardirqs_on();
The "return_to_handle()" call is the trampoline of the
function graph tracer, and is meaningless in this context.

The preempt and irqsoff tracers have three types of function tracers.
Normal function tracer, function graph entry, and function graph return.
Each of these use a complex dance to prevent recursion and whether
to trace the data or not (depending if interrupts are enabled or not).
This patch moves the duplicate code into a single routine, to
prevent future mistakes with modifying duplicate complex code.
