ftrace: do not profile lib/string.o
Most archs define the string and memory compare functions in assembly.
Some do not. But these functions may be used in some archs at early

Since most archs define this code in assembly and they are not usually

ftrace: irqs off smp_processor_id() fix
The irqsoff function tracer did a __get_cpu_var to determine
if it should trace the function or not. The problem is that
__get_cpu_var can preempt between getting the CPU and reading
the cpu variable. This means that the cpu variable that is
being read is not from the cpu being run on.
At worst, this can give a false positive, where we trace the
function when we should not. It will never give a false negative
since we only want to trace when interrupts are disabled
and we never preempt when they are.
This fix adds a check after reading the irq flags to only
trace if the interrupts are actually disabled. It also changes
the reading of the cpu variable to use a raw_smp_processor_id

ftrace: dynamic enabling/disabling of function calls
This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code
with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run
as fast as it can without it configured.
The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace
function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all
places that call the function.
Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken
(rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine,
and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call
to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically
the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code
patching needed at all.
e.g.
call ftrace /* 5 bytes */
is replaced with
jmp 3f /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */
3:
When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording
is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations
of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace. When it is disabled,
we replace the code back to the jmp.
Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is
called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply
skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for
recording new ftrace function calls. A large batch is allocated at
boot up to get most of the calls there.
Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another
CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry
about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be
annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code
will not call notrace.
