Fix: check for event class/instance prototype mismatch

The TP_ARGS() for an event instance belonging to an event class
must have compatible types with the event class TP_ARGS().

Failure to follow this rule leads to a prototype mismatch between the
tracepoint call site and the probe function. A common effect perceived
is that events with prototype mismatch between call site and probe
function are never traced.

Fix this by enforcing a compile-time check of the event instance and
class prototypes, similarly to what is done in LTTng modules.

Mathieu Desnoyers [Thu, 20 Sep 2018 18:11:17 +0000 (14:11 -0400)] 
Fix: race between statedump and library destructor

The locking scheme for ust_lock() returns a teardown state (variable
lttng_ust_comm_should_quit) which is set by library destructor with lock
held.

It requires that when ust listener threads use this lock to protect
against concurrent accesses to a data structure, in addition to take
the lock, they need to check the return value of ust_lock() and
skip their critical section entirely if the return value indicates
that teardown is ongoing.

Iteration over all loaded libraries by lttng_ust_dl_update() starts by
iter_begin which grabs the lock, and sets data->cancel state
appropriately if teardown is ongoing. Then extract_bin_info_events()
uses the data->cancel state to skip over use of the protected structures
as needed, but iter_end() fails to take this data->cancel state into
account. Therefore, it can access data structures concurrently while
their teardown is ongoing which leads to crashes.

On ARMv7l (Cubietruck), the compiler generates a function call for each
lib_ring_buffer_check_deliver, even though it typically only do an
unlikely check. Split it into an inline fast path, and a function call
for the slow path. This brings a performance gain of about 500ns/event
on the Cubietruck.

Fix: perf counters build against kernel headers < 3.12

the recent ABI layout, and use the bit description detailed in the
following Linux kernel commit:

Fall-back on the perf read system call for kernels prior to 3.12,
because older kernels have an ABI bug where a union was used for both
cap_usr_time and cap_usr_rdpmc.

Fix: many-events registration/unregistration speed

Batch invocation of synchronize_rcu() when unregistering many events
from a session.

Also batch invocation of synchronize_rcu() when registering the same
events within many concurrent sessions (starting from the 2nd session).

Those slowdowns are noticeable with applications processes that have a
short life-time, e.g. shell scripts spawning multiple short-lived
processes take significantly longer to complete when LD_PRELOADing a UST
probe provider.

This slowdown only occurs when UST tracing sessions are created in the
session daemon.

tracepoint_probe_update_all() (currently unused) implements a similar
mechanism which has the downside of iterating on all events in all probe
libraries (not as efficient). Move synchronize_rcu() in
tracepoint_probe_update_all() outside of the iteration on all events to
free in this function, because it is only needed between the last
callsite update and the first memory reclaim, not between list removal
and reclaim.
