a35780005e tracing/workqueues: Add refcnt to struct cpu_workqueue_stats
The stat entries can be freed when the stat file is being read.
The worse is, the ptr can be freed immediately after it's returned
from workqueue_stat_start/next().

Add a refcnt to struct cpu_workqueue_stats to avoid use-after-free.

f3c4ae26e9 trace_workqueue: remove blank line between each cpu
The blankline between each cpu's workqueue stat is not necessary, because
the cpu number is enough to part them by eye.
Old style also caused a blankline below headline, and made code complex
by using lock, disableirq and get cpu var.

Old style:
 # CPU  INSERTED  EXECUTED   NAME
 # |      |         |          |

   0   8644       8644       events/0
   0      0          0       cpuset
   ...
   0      1          1       kdmflush

   1  35365      35365       events/1
   ...

New style:
 # CPU  INSERTED  EXECUTED   NAME
 # |      |         |          |

   0   8644       8644       events/0
   0      0          0       cpuset
   ...
   0      1          1       kdmflush
   1  35365      35365       events/1
   ...

[ Impact: provide more readable code ]

b8867164f0 trace_workqueue: remove cpu_workqueue_stats->first_entry
cpu_workqueue_stats->first_entry is useless because we can retrieve the
header of a cpu workqueue using:
if (&cpu_workqueue_stats->list == workqueue_cpu_stat(cpu)->list.next)

1fdfca9c57 trace_workqueue: use list_for_each_entry() instead of list_for_each_entry_safe()
No need to use list_for_each_entry_safe() in iteration without deleting
any node, we can use list_for_each_entry() instead.

fb39125fd7 ftrace, workqueuetrace: make workqueue tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macro
v3: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Change TRACE_EVENT definition to new format
    introduced by Steven Rostedt: consolidate trace and trace_event headers
v2: kosaki@jp.fujitsu.com: print the function names instead of addr, and zap
    the work addr
v1: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Make workqueue tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macro

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to the tracepoints:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

Then, this patch converts DEFINE_TRACE to TRACE_EVENT in workqueue related
tracepoints.

[ Impact: expand workqueue tracer to events tracing ]

c3ffc7a40b tracing: Don't use tracing_record_cmdline() in workqueue tracer
Impact: improve workqueue tracer output

Currently, /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues can display
wrong and strange thread names.

Why?

Currently, ftrace has tracing_record_cmdline()/trace_find_cmdline()
convenience function that implements a task->comm string cache.

This can avoid unnecessary memcpy overhead and the workqueue tracer
uses it.

However, in general, any trace statistics feature shouldn't use
tracing_record_cmdline() because trace statistics can display
very old process. Then comm cache can return wrong string because
recent process overrides the cache.

Fortunately, workqueue trace guarantees that displayed processes
are live. Thus we can search comm string from PID at display time.

3690b5e6fd trace_workqueue: use percpu data for workqueue stat
Impact: use percpu data instead of a global structure

Use:

   static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct workqueue_global_stats, all_workqueue_stat);

instead of allocating a global structure.

percpu data also works well on NUMA.

e1d8aa9f1d tracing: add a new workqueue tracer
Impact: new tracer

The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations
about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the
works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help
to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform.
For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should
choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one.

It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later
provide event tracing too.

Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted
workqueue development.

To have a snapshot of the workqueues state at any time, just do

cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues

Ie:

  1    125        125       reiserfs/1
  1      0          0       scsi_tgtd/1
  1      0          0       aio/1
  1      0          0       ata/1
  1    114        114       kblockd/1
  1      0          0       kintegrityd/1
  1   2147       2147       events/1

  0      0          0       kpsmoused

  0   1000       1000       khelper
  0   2270       2270       events/0

Changes in V2:

_ Drop the static array based on NR_CPU and dynamically allocate the stat array
  with num_possible_cpus() and other cpu mask facilities....
_ Trace workqueue insertion at a bit lower level (insert_work instead of queue_work) to handle
  even the workqueue barriers.
