Fix: lttng-modules teardown NULL pointer OOPS

Accessing the lttng channel and lttng session from the metadata ring
buffer client is a bad idea, because we don't have any reference
ensuring those are valid for the lifetime of the metadata cache.
Therefore, rather than keeping a lttng channel as private data pointer
for the metadata ring buffer channel, keep a pointer to the metadata
cache instead: this will ensure we don't shoot ourself in the foot and
access data we for which coherency is not guaranteed (we don't hold any
reference to it).

Anyway, the only reason why we needed to access the lttng session from
the metadata client in the first place was the UUID of the session. Copy
it into the metadata cache instead.

Fix: handle concurrent flush vs get_next_subbuf on metadata cache

The "flush" operation can be performed on the metadata file descriptor
concurrently with get_next_subbuffer operations by different processes
(e.g. lttng session daemon issuing flush at "stop" concurrently with
consumer daemon issuing get_next_subbuf for metadata I/O). We need
to protect the metadata cache from those concurrent use by introducing a
mutex.

This fixes a race where metadata from a kernel trace is corrupted due to
this scenario. The corruption shows up like the same metadata content (a
metadata packet) being written twice consecutively in the metadata
stream, thus triggering a babeltrace "parse error" when trying to read
the trace.

Fix: incorrect rwbs field type in block_bio_queue

Within lttng-modules instrumentation starting from kernel 3.9.0, the
block_bio_queue instrumentation has incorrect rwbs field type, and does
not print "comm" as an array of text.

The result is that we are writing values to what we believe to be an
"unsigned int", which is actually described as an array of RWBS_LEN byte
(8 bytes). This discrepancy between type description and the actual
tp_assign() incrementing the write offset leads to what appears as
corruption of the following "comm" field in the trace viewer output: the

Fix: pass proper args when writing commit counter

lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter()'s 'buf_offset' argument should
contain offset of beginning of area used by the record being comitted.

However, lib_ring_buffer_commit() passes ctx->buf_offset, that gets
advanced by lib_ring_buffer_write() and thus points to just-after-
end-of-record at lib_ring_buffer_commit() time. This causes
lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter() to return without changing
commit_hot[idx].seq, due to

if (unlikely(subbuf_offset(offset - commit_count, chan)))
return;

Since after-crash data extraction tool checks 'seq' field to find out
how much data is in buffer, this results into inavailability of
data from partially-filled subbuffer for after-crash analysis.

This patch modifies lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter() and all its
callers to pass and expect the end of the area. So code works as it
should, and complete information becomes visible in crash dump.

LTTng logger ABI

Add a user-space ABI (new file /proc/lttng-logger) to lttng-modules
which can be written into by any user on the system. The content is
saved into the kernel trace stream into the "lttng_logger" kernel event.

The content of a single write is written into an lttng_logger event.
The write count is truncated to 1024 bytes (if larger), which is much
smaller than the smallest subbuffer size available (4096 bytes). This
ensures all written data makes it into the active tracing buffers.

Example use:

lttng-sessiond -d # (as root)
lttng create
lttng enable-event -k lttng_logger
lttng start

echo -n "this is a test" > /proc/lttng-logger

Fix: use after free in ring buffer clients

Don't use ring buffer client's struct lttng_channel from ioctl which
applies to ring buffer streams, because lttng_channel is freed while lib
ring buffer stream and channel are still in use. Their lifetime persists
until the consumer daemon releases its handles on the related stream
file descriptors.

Commit

  "Introduce API to remap event names exposed by LTTng"

failed to map the event names enabled by the user to tracepoint names
known to the kernel. For instance, tracing with the kmem_kmalloc event
enabled is not gathering any event. This issue applies to all tracepoint
events declared with a different name within LTTng than within the Linux

Fix: eliminate timestamp overlap between packets

By using the timestamp sampled at space reservation when the packet is
being filled as "end timestamp" for a packet, we can ensure there is no
overlap between packet timestamp ranges, so that packet timestamp end <=
following packets timestamp begin.

Overlap between consecutive packets becomes an issue when the end
timestamp of a packet is greater than the end timestamp of a following
packet, IOW a packet completely contains the timestamp range of a
following packet.  This kind of situation does not allow trace viewers
to do binary search within the packet timestamps. This kind of situation
will typically never occur if packets are significantly larger than
event size, but this fix ensures it can never even theoretically happen.

The only case where packets can still theoretically overlap is if they
have equal begin and end timestamps, which is valid.

Introduce wrapper/irq.h to move the feature availability testing logic
into a specific wrapper header. It now tests if the kernel version is
>= 3.12 or if CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS is defined (for older kernels).
Introduce the lttng-specific CONFIG_LTTNG_HAS_LIST_IRQ to track
availability of this feature within LTTng.

Blacklist kernels 3.10.13 and 3.11.2

It looks like my guessing on kernel version at which Greg will pull this
fix was wrong. It will probably appear in the next round of stable
releases.

The fix that needs to reach stable-3.10 and stable-3.11 before we can
remove those from the backlist:
