Impact: Fix possible failure to calibrate the TSC on Vmware near 4 GHz
The current version of the code to get the tsc frequency from
the VMware hypervisor, will be broken on processor with frequency
(4G-1) HZ, because on such processors eax will have UINT_MAX
and that would be legitimate.
We instead check that EBX did change to decide if we were able to
read the frequency from the hypervisor.

While writing a new tracer, I had a bug where I caused the ring-buffer
to recurse in a bad way. The bug was with the tracer I was writing
and not the ring-buffer itself. But it took a long time to find the
problem.
This patch adds paranoid checks into the ring-buffer infrastructure
that will catch bugs of this nature.
Note: I put the bug back in the tracer and this patch showed the error
nicely and prevented the lockup.

Impact: build fix for non-ftrace architectures

Impact: ia64+tracing build fix
When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the
kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output
of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this
"kprobe_trampoline" function.
To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer
of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it
did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead.
Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline
function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds.
This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see
if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from
being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can
happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we
go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

While adding support for MIGRATE/KMADDRESS in strongSwan (as specified
in draft-ebalard-mext-pfkey-enhanced-migrate-00), Andreas Steffen
noticed that XFRMA_KMADDRESS attribute passed to userland contains the
local address twice (remote provides local address instead of remote
one).
This bug in copy_to_user_kmaddress() affects only key managers that use
native XFRM interface (key managers that use PF_KEY are not affected).
For the record, the bug was in the initial changeset I posted which
added support for KMADDRESS (13c1d18931
'xfrm: MIGRATE enhancements (draft-ebalard-mext-pfkey-enhanced-migrate)').

Impact: add new tracepoint APIs to allow the batched registration of probes
new APIs separate tracepoint_probe_register(),
tracepoint_probe_unregister() into 2 steps. The first step of them
is just update tracepoint_entry, not connect or disconnect.
this patch introduces tracepoint_probe_update_all() for update all.
these APIs are very useful for registering lots of probes
but just updating once. Another very important thing is that
*_noupdate APIs do not require module_mutex.

Impact: simplify implementation
Now, unused memory is handled by struct tp_probes.
old code use these three field to handle unused memory.
struct tracepoint_entry {
...
struct rcu_head rcu;
void *oldptr;
unsigned char rcu_pending:1;
...
};
in this way, unused memory is handled by struct tracepoint_entry.
it bring reenter bug(it was fixed) and tracepoint.c is filled
full of ".*rcu.*" code statements. this patch removes all these.
and:
rcu_barrier_sched() is removed.
Do not need regain tracepoints_mutex after tracepoint_update_probes()
several little cleanup.
