Use a #define for synchronize marker unregister to fix include dependencies.
Fixes the slab circular inclusion which triggers when slab.git is combined
with tracing.git, where rcupdate includes slab, which includes markers
which includes rcupdate.

Create marker_synchronize_unregister() which must be called before the end of
exit() to make sure every probe callers have exited the non preemptible section
and thus are not executing the probe code anymore.

To support the forthcoming "immediate values" marker optimization, we must have
a way to declare markers in few code paths that does not use instruction
modification based enable. This will be the case of printk(), some traps and
eventually lockdep instrumentation.
Changelog :
- Fix reversed boolean logic of "generic".

Very good point. I actually thought about dropping it, since it would
remove an unnecessary argument from the stack. And actually, since I now
have the marker_probe_cb sitting between the marker site and the
callbacks, there is no API change required. Thanks :)

Wrap __mark_check_format() into an if(0) to make sure that parameters such as
trace_mark(mm_page_alloc, "order %u pfn %lu", order, page?page_to_pfn(page):0);
(where page_to_pfn() has side-effects) won't generate code because of the
__mark_check_format().

This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous
to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file
when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and
format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text
file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code,
analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for
kernels other than the one you are running right now.
The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define
the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the
__markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as
the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable
amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section
structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the
sun.

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used
to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers
within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module
load time.
marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and
marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.
