57421dbbdc tracing: Convert event tracing code to use NR_syscalls
Convert the syscalls event tracing code to use NR_syscalls, instead of
FTRACE_SYSCALL_MAX. NR_syscalls is standard accross most arches, and
reduces code confusion/complexity.

cd0980fc8a tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls
Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
number is not valid.  Accessing the bit field without a check might
result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).

Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.

There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:

1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
   tracing code resets it.
   (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)

2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
   TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
   which include kernel threads.
   However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
   syscall trace points:
      - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
      - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
      - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
	ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.

To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.

For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.

Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 2000000000

1c569f0264 tracing: Create generic syscall TRACE_EVENTs
This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so
you can have generic ftrace events that capture all system calls with
arguments and return values.  These generic events are also renamed to
sys_enter/exit, so they're more closely aligned to the specific
sys_enter_foo events.

e6971969c3 tracing/syscalls: Fix fields format for enter events
The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
parse ftrace binary output.

But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by
perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct
syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter.

To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then
struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile
and ftrace.

ba8b3a40ba tracing/syscalls: Fix to print parameter types
When syscall tracing was implemented as a tracer,
"syscall_arg_type" trace option could be set to enable the
display of syscall parameter types.

Now this option is gone since it's no longer a tracer, but the
code is still there but dead.

So we remove dead code and re-enable the printing of paramete
types via the verbose option:

  # echo verbose > trace_options
  # echo syscalls > set_event
  # cat trace

	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;
	field:int common_tgid;	offset:8;	size:4;

	field:pid_t pid;	offset:12;	size:8;
	field:struct sched_param * param;	offset:20;	size:8;

[...]

sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
level headers.

Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

5be71b61f1 tracing/syscalls: protect thread flag toggling from races
Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race

The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following
scenario:

- task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the
  TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks

- at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so
  it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks.

The effect of the mixup is unpredictable.
So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing().

ac99c58c9e tracing/syscalls: fix missing release of tracing
Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer

The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users
simultaneously.

But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored
its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore,
stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from
tracing.

Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released.

Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing()
and reset the buffer when we release the tracer.

This fixes two reported issue:

- when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall
  tracing continued.

- incorrect use of the refcount.

bed1ffca02 tracing/syscalls: core infrastructure for syscalls tracing, enhancements
Impact: new feature

This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is
currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing
engines can use it. (They just have to play with
{start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks
unless they want to override them.)

The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal
some metadata informations:

- syscall name, param types, param names, number of params

The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition
because we don't know if its prototype is available in the
namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to
build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its
metadata struct.

The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names
and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is
a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.
