The trace events have a __bitmask field that can be used for anything
that requires bitmasks. Although currently it is only used for CPU
masks, it could be used in the future for any type of bitmasks.
There is some user space tooling that wants to know if a field is a CPU
mask and not just some random unsigned long bitmask. Introduce
"__cpumask()" helper functions that work the same as the current
__bitmask() helpers but displays in the format file:
field:__data_loc cpumask_t *[] mask; offset:36; size:4; signed:0;
Instead of:
field:__data_loc unsigned long[] mask; offset:32; size:4; signed:0;
The main difference is the type. Instead of "unsigned long" it is
"cpumask_t *". Note, this type field needs to be a real type in the
__dynamic_array() logic that both __cpumask and__bitmask use, but the
comparison field requires it to be a scalar type whereas cpumask_t is a
structure (non-scalar). But everything works when making it a pointer.
Valentin added changes to remove the need of passing in "nr_bits" and the
__cpumask will always use nr_cpumask_bits as its size.

Add '__rel_loc' using sample event for testing.
User can use this for testing purpose. There is
no reason to use this macro from the kernel.

In commit:
4b53a3412d ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")
the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.
As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:
struct task_struct {
const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr;
cpumask_t cpus_mask;
};
with
t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask;
In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:
t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));
in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:
- Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
- Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

Commit 6575257c60 ("tracing/samples: Fix creation and deletion of

Just make it "int".

Commit 7496946a8 ("tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and
DEFINE_EVENT()") added template examples for all the events. It created a
DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example which reused the foo_bar_reg and foo_bar_unreg
functions.
Enabling both the TRACE_EVENT_FN() and DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example trace
events caused the foo_bar_reg to be called twice, creating the test thread
twice. The foo_bar_unreg would remove it only once, even if it was called
multiple times, leaving a thread existing when the module is unloaded,
causing an oops.
Add a ref count and allow foo_bar_reg() and foo_bar_unreg() be called by
multiple trace events.

So the original intention of tsk_cpus_allowed() was to 'future-proof'
the field - but it's pretty ineffectual at that, because half of
the code uses ->cpus_allowed directly ...
Also, the wrapper makes the code longer than the original expression!
So just get rid of it. This also shrinks <linux/sched.h> a bit.

Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function
must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the
tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know
why the tracepoint is not working.

If a function should be called before a tracepoint is enabled
and/or after it is disabled, the TRACE_EVENT_FN() serves this
purpose. But it is not well documented. Having it as a sample would
help developers to know how to use it.

The sample code in samples/trace_events/ is extremely out of date and does
not show all the new fields that have been added since the sample code
was written. As most people are unaware of these new fields, adding sample
code and explanations of those fields should help out.

The sample is useful for testing, and I'm using it. But after
loading the module, it keeps saying hi every 10 seconds, this may
be disturbing.
Also Steven said commenting out the "hi" helped in causing races. :)
