Impact: remove spinlocks and irq disabling in function return tracer.
I've tried to figure out all of the race condition that could happen
when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the
current thread_info.
Theory:
_ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code
doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock.
_ The only race could happen between the current thread and an
interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of
the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the
tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable
irqs.
This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and
had no problem at all. Perhaps -tip testing could confirm it.

Impact: deadlock fix in ring_buffer_read_start
The ring_buffer_iter_reset was called from ring_buffer_read_start
where both grabbed the reader_lock.
This patch separates out the internals of ring_buffer_iter_reset
to its own function so that both APIs may grab the reader_lock.

Impact: Restructure WARN_ONs in ring_buffer.c
The current WARN_ON macros in ring_buffer.c are quite ugly.
This patch cleans them up and uses a single RB_WARN_ON that returns
the value of the condition. This allows the caller to abort the
function if the condition is true.

Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added
Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop
recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also
be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the
ring buffers called:
tracing_on()
tracing_off()
When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record
into their buffers.
tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again.
These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the
number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called.
A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called
tracing_on
This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch.
echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
disables the tracing.
echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
enables it.
Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears
a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to
their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers.
The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled.
There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers:
tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers.
buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set
if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled.
cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an
anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if
an anomaly occurred.
The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with
tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel
called tracing_stop().
Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it.
It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit.
tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is
it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace
can reenable it at any time.
Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c
called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

Impact: serialize reader accesses to individual CPU ring buffers
The code in the ring buffer expects only one reader at a time, but currently
it puts that requirement on the caller. This is not strong enough, and this
patch adds a "reader_lock" that serializes the access to the reader API
of the ring buffer.
