    x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface · de79f54f
    Markus Metzger authored
    The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
    context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.
    
    Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
    interrupts disabled.
    
    Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
    controlled from any cpu.
    
    Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
    with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
    unnecessary spinlock.
    
    Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.
    
    Defer the ds selftest.
