Pull tracing clean up and fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Have osnoise tracer use memdup_user_nul()

   The function osnoise_cpus_write() open codes a kmalloc() and then a
   copy_from_user() and then adds a nul byte at the end which is the
   same as simply using memdup_user_nul().

 - Fix wakeup and irq tracers when failing to acquire calltime

   When the wakeup and irq tracers use the function graph tracer for
   tracing function times, it saves a timestamp into the fgraph shadow
   stack. It is possible that this could fail to be stored. If that
   happens, it exits the routine early. These functions also disable
   nesting of the operations by incremeting the data "disable" counter.
   But if the calltime exits out early, it never increments the counter
   back to what it needs to be.

   Since there's only a couple of lines of code that does work after
   acquiring the calltime, instead of exiting out early, reverse the if
   statement to be true if calltime is acquired, and place the code that
   is to be done within that if block. The clean up will always be done
   after that.

 - Fix ring_buffer_map() return value on failure of __rb_map_vma()

   If __rb_map_vma() fails in ring_buffer_map(), it does not return an
   error. This means the caller will be working against a bad vma
   mapping. Have ring_buffer_map() return an error when __rb_map_vma()
   fails.

 - Fix regression of writing to the trace_marker file

   A bug fix was made to change __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
   copy_from_user_nofault() in the trace_marker write function. The
   trace_marker file is used by applications to write into it (usually
   with a file descriptor opened at the start of the program) to record
   into the tracing system. It's usually used in critical sections so
   the write to trace_marker is highly optimized.

   The reason for copying in an atomic section is that the write
   reserves space on the ring buffer and then writes directly into it.
   After it writes, it commits the event. The time between reserve and
   commit must have preemption disabled.

   The trace marker write does not have any locking nor can it allocate
   due to the nature of it being a critical path.

   Unfortunately, converting __copy_from_user_inatomic() to
   copy_from_user_nofault() caused a regression in Android. Now all the
   writes from its applications trigger the fault that is rejected by
   the _nofault() version that wasn't rejected by the _inatomic()
   version. Instead of getting data, it now just gets a trace buffer
   filled with:

     tracing_mark_write: <faulted>

   To fix this, on opening of the trace_marker file, allocate per CPU
   buffers that can be used by the write call. Then when entering the
   write call, do the following:

     preempt_disable();
     cpu = smp_processor_id();
     buffer = per_cpu_ptr(cpu_buffers, cpu);
     do {
 	cnt = nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu);
 	migrate_disable();
 	preempt_enable();
 	ret = copy_from_user(buffer, ptr, size);
 	preempt_disable();
 	migrate_enable();
     } while (!ret && cnt != nr_context_switches_cpu(cpu));
     if (!ret)
 	ring_buffer_write(buffer);
     preempt_enable();

   This works similarly to seqcount. As it must enabled preemption to do
   a copy_from_user() into a per CPU buffer, if it gets preempted, the
   buffer could be corrupted by another task.

   To handle this, read the number of context switches of the current
   CPU, disable migration, enable preemption, copy the data from user
   space, then immediately disable preemption again. If the number of
   context switches is the same, the buffer is still valid. Otherwise it
   must be assumed that the buffer may have been corrupted and it needs
   to try again.

   Now the trace_marker write can get the user data even if it has to
   fault it in, and still not grab any locks of its own.
