Traditionally, changes to struct file->f_flags have been done under BKL
protection, or with no protection at all. This patch causes all f_flags
changes after file open/creation time to be done under protection of
f_lock. This allows the removal of some BKL usage and fixes a number of
longstanding (if microscopic) races.

epoll remains the only user, but a future patch will use it to protect

The results is very unlikely change every so often so we
hardly need to divide again after doing that once for a
connection. Yet, if divide still becomes necessary we
detect that and do the right thing and again settle for
non-divide state. Takes the u16 space which was previously
taken by the plain xmit_size_goal.
This should take care part of the tso vs non-tso difference
we found earlier.

There's very little need for most of the callsites to get
tp->xmit_goal_size updated. That will cost us divide as is,
so slice the function in two. Also, the only users of the
tp->xmit_goal_size are directly behind tcp_current_mss(),
so there's no need to store that variable into tcp_sock
at all! The drop of xmit_goal_size currently leaves 16-bit
hole and some reorganization would again be necessary to
change that (but I'm aiming to fill that hole with u16
xmit_goal_size_segs to cache the results of the remaining
divide to get that tso on regression).
Bring xmit_goal_size parts into tcp.c

On x86_64, its rather unfortunate that "wait_queue_head_t wait"
field of "struct socket" spans two cache lines (assuming a 64
bytes cache line in current cpus)
offsetof(struct socket, wait)=0x30
sizeof(wait_queue_head_t)=0x18
This might explain why Kenny Chang noticed that his multicast workload
was performing bad with 64 bit kernels, since more cache lines ping pongs
were involved.
This litle patch moves "wait" field next "fasync_list" so that both
fields share a single cache line, to speedup sock_def_readable()

I found the PPP subsystem to not work properly when connecting channels
with different speeds to the same bundle.
Problem Description:
As the "ppp_mp_explode" function fragments the sk_buff buffer evenly
among the PPP channels that are connected to a certain PPP unit to
make up a bundle, if we are transmitting using an upper layer protocol
that requires an Ack before sending the next packet (like TCP/IP for
example), we will have a bandwidth bottleneck on the slowest channel
of the bundle.
Let's clarify by an example. Let's consider a scenario where we have
two PPP links making up a bundle: a slow link (10KB/sec) and a fast
link (1000KB/sec) working at the best (full bandwidth). On the top we
have a TCP/IP stack sending a 1000 Bytes sk_buff buffer down to the
PPP subsystem. The "ppp_mp_explode" function will divide the buffer in
two fragments of 500B each (we are neglecting all the headers, crc,
flags etc?.). Before the TCP/IP stack sends out the next buffer, it
will have to wait for the ACK response from the remote peer, so it
will have to wait for both fragments to have been sent over the two
PPP links, received by the remote peer and reconstructed. The
resulting behaviour is that, rather than having a bundle working
@1010KB/sec (the sum of the channels bandwidths), we'll have a bundle
working @20KB/sec (the double of the slowest channels bandwidth).
Problem Solution:
The problem has been solved by redesigning the "ppp_mp_explode"
function in such a way to make it split the sk_buff buffer according
to the speeds of the underlying PPP channels (the speeds of the serial
interfaces respectively attached to the PPP channels). Referring to
the above example, the redesigned "ppp_mp_explode" function will now
divide the 1000 Bytes buffer into two fragments whose sizes are set
according to the speeds of the channels where they are going to be
sent on (e.g . 10 Byets on 10KB/sec channel and 990 Bytes on
1000KB/sec channel). The reworked function grants the same
performances of the original one in optimal working conditions (i.e. a
bundle made up of PPP links all working at the same speed), while
greatly improving performances on the bundles made up of channels
working at different speeds.

Impact: new feature
This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is
currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing
engines can use it. (They just have to play with
{start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks
unless they want to override them.)
The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal
some metadata informations:
- syscall name, param types, param names, number of params
The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition
because we don't know if its prototype is available in the
namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to
build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its
metadata struct.
The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names
and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is
a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.

Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings
Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.
So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.
The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.
Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).
