Linus Torvalds 18ecff396c tracing fixes for v7.0:
- Fix thresh_return of function graph tracer
 
   The update to store data on the shadow stack removed the abuse of
   using the task recursion word as a way to keep track of what functions
   to ignore. The trace_graph_return() was updated to handle this, but
   when function_graph tracer is using a threshold (only trace functions
   that took longer than a specified time), it uses
   trace_graph_thresh_return() instead. This function was still incorrectly
   using the task struct recursion word causing the function graph tracer to
   permanently set all functions to "notrace"
 
 - Fix thresh_return nosleep accounting
 
   When the calltime was moved to the shadow stack storage instead of being
   on the fgraph descriptor, the calculations for the amount of sleep time
   was updated. The calculation was done in the trace_graph_thresh_return()
   function, which also called the trace_graph_return(), which did the
   calculation again, causing the time to be doubled.
 
   Remove the call to trace_graph_return() as what it needed to do wasn't
   that much, and just do the work in trace_graph_thresh_return().
 
 - Fix syscall trace event activation on boot up
 
   The syscall trace events are pseudo events attached to the raw_syscall
   tracepoints. When the first syscall event is enabled, it enables the
   raw_syscall tracepoint and doesn't need to do anything when a second
   syscall event is also enabled.
 
   When events are enabled via the kernel command line, syscall events
   are partially enabled as the enabling is called before rcu_init.
   This is due to allow early events to be enabled immediately. Because
   kernel command line events do not distinguish between different
   types of events, the syscall events are enabled here but are not fully
   functioning. After rcu_init, they are disabled and re-enabled so that
   they can be fully enabled. The problem happened is that this
   "disable-enable" is done one at a time. If more than one syscall event
   is specified on the command line, by disabling them one at a time,
   the counter never gets to zero, and the raw_syscall is not disabled and
   enabled, keeping the syscall events in their non-fully functional state.
 
   Instead, disable all events and re-enabled them all, as that will ensure
   the raw_syscall event is also disabled and re-enabled.
 
 - Disable preemption in ftrace pid filtering
 
   The ftrace pid filtering attaches to the fork and exit tracepoints to
   add or remove pids that should be traced. They access variables protected
   by RCU (preemption disabled). Now that tracepoint callbacks are called with
   preemption enabled, this protection needs to be added explicitly, and
   not depend on the functions being called with preemption disabled.
 
 - Disable preemption in event pid filtering
 
   The event pid filtering needs the same preemption disabling guards as
   ftrace pid filtering.
 
 - Fix accounting of the memory mapped ring buffer on fork
 
   Memory mapping the ftrace ring buffer sets the vm_flags to DONTCOPY. But
   this does not prevent the application from calling madvise(MADVISE_DOFORK).
   This causes the mapping to be copied on fork. After the first tasks exits,
   the mapping is considered unmapped by everyone. But when he second task
   exits, the counter goes below zero and triggers a WARN_ON.
 
   Since nothing prevents two separate tasks from mmapping the ftrace ring
   buffer (although two mappings may mess each other up), there's no reason
   to stop the memory from being copied on fork.
 
   Update the vm_operations to have an ".open" handler to update the
   accounting and let the ring buffer know someone else has it mapped.
 
 - Add all ftrace headers in MAINTAINERS file
 
   The MAINTAINERS file only specifies include/linux/ftrace.h But misses
   ftrace_irq.h and ftrace_regs.h. Make the file use wildcards to get all
   *ftrace* files.
