tools: Honour the O= flag when tool build called from a higher Makefile
Honour the O= flag that was passed to a higher level Makefile and then passed

To make this work, the top-level Makefile passes the original O= flag and
subdir=tools to the tools/Makefile, and that in turn passes
subdir=$(O)/$(subdir)/foodir when building tool foo in directory
$(O)/$(subdir)/foodir (where the intervening slashes aren't added if an

For example, take perf. This is found in tools/perf/. Assume we're building

we run the build from, we see:

perf tools: Fix 'disabled' attribute config for record command
Currently the record command sets all events initially as disabled.
There's non conditional perf_evlist__enable call, that enables all
events before we exec tracee program. That actually screws whole
enable_on_exec logic, because the event is enabled before the traced
program got executed.
What we actually want is:
1) For any type of traced program:
- all independent events and group leaders are disabled
- all group members are enabled
Group members are ruled by group leaders. They need to
be enabled, because the group scheduling relies on that.
2) For traced programs executed by perf:
- all independent events and group leaders have
enable_on_exec set
- we don't specifically enable or disable any event during
the record command
Independent events and group leaders are initially disabled
and get enabled by exec. Group members are ruled by group
leaders as stated in 1).
3) For traced programs attached by perf (pid/tid):
- we specifically enable or disable all events during
the record command
When attaching events to already running traced we
enable/disable events specifically, as there's no
initial traced exec call.
Fixing appropriate perf_event_attr test case to cover this change.

tracing: Add trace_options kernel command line parameter
Add trace_options to the kernel command line parameter to be able to
set options at early boot. For example, to enable stack dumps of
events, add the following:
trace_options=stacktrace
This along with the trace_event option, you can get not only
traces of the events but also the stack dumps with them.

tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functions
Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to
wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work
was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the
time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may
be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work
will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI
to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location).
With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing
the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used
by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the
normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed.

tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file
The tracing_enabled file was used as a quick way to stop
tracers, and try to bring down overhead for things like
the latency tracers (irqsoff, wakeup, etc). But it didn't
work that well.
The tracing_on file was created as a really fast way to
stop recording into the ftrace ring buffer and can interact
with the kernel. That is a tracing_off() call in the kernel
can disable recording of events, and then from userspace one
could echo 1 into the tracing_on file to continue it. The
tracing_enabled function did too much to allow for this.
The tracing_on has taken over as a way to start and stop tracing
and the tracing_enabled file should not be used. But because of
its existance, it still confuses people. Over a year ago the
following commit was added:
This commit added a WARN_ON() if the tracing_enabled file's variable
was changed. After this was added, only LatencyTop complained, and
they soon fixed their tool as there was no reason that LatencyTop
should touch this file as it was using the perf ring buffers which
this file does not interact with. But since that time no one else
has complained about this WARN_ON(). Thus it is safe to assume that
this file is no longer needed. Time to get rid of it.

tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on
The tracing_enabled file has been deprecated as it never was able
to serve its purpose well. The tracing_on file has taken over.
Instead of having code to keep tracing_enabled, have the tracing_enabled
file just set tracing_on, and remove the tracing_enabled variable.
This allows us to remove the tracing_enabled file. The reason that
the remove is in a different change set and not removed here is
in case we find some lonely userspace tool that requires the file
to exist. Then the removal patch will get reverted, but this one
will not.

tracing: Remove unused function unregister_tracer()
The function register_tracer() is only used by kernel core code,
that never needs to remove the tracer. As trace_events have become
the main way to add new tracing to the kernel, the need to
unregister a tracer has diminished. Remove the unused function
unregister_tracer(). If a need arises where we need it, then we
can always add it back.

tracing: Separate open function from set_event and available_events
The open function used by available_events is the same as set_event even
though it uses different seq functions. This causes a side effect of
writing into available_events clearing all events, even though
available_events is suppose to be read only.
There's no reason to keep a single function for just the open and have
both use different functions for everything else. It is a little
confusing and causes strange behavior. Just have each have their own
function.

Whenever an event is registered, the comm of tasks are saved at

tracing: Expand ring buffer when trace_printk() is used
Since tracing is not used by 99% of Linux users, even though tracing
may be configured in, it does not make sense to allocate 1.4 Megs
per CPU for the ring buffers if they are not used. Thus, on boot up
the ring buffers are set to a minimal size until something needs the
and they are expanded.
This works well for events and tracers (function, etc), but for the
asynchronous use of trace_printk() which can write to the ring buffer
at any time, does not expand the buffers.
On boot up a check is made to see if any trace_printk() is used to
see if the trace_printk() temp buffer pages should be allocated. This
same code can be used to expand the buffers as well.

The existing 'overrun' counter is incremented when the ring
buffer wraps around, with overflow on (the default). We wanted
a way to count requests lost from the buffer filling up with
overflow off, too. I decided to add a new counter instead
of retro-fitting the existing one because it seems like a
different statistic to count conceptually, and also because
of how the code was structured.

tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcall
There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early
boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall()
which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command
line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function
tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before
device_initcall().
There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the
boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come
after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.
