Impact: fix bad times of recent resets

The ring buffer needs to reset its timestamps when reseting of the
buffer, otherwise the timestamps are stale and might be used to
calculate times in the buffer causing funny timestamps to appear.

Impact: reset struct buffer_page.write when interrupt storm

if struct buffer_page.write is not reset, any succedent committing
will corrupted ring_buffer:

static inline void
rb_set_commit_to_write(struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer)
{
	......
		cpu_buffer->commit_page->commit =
			cpu_buffer->commit_page->write;
	......
}

when "if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, next_page == reader_page))", ring_buffer
is disabled, but some reserved buffers may haven't been committed.
we need reset struct buffer_page.write.

when "if (unlikely(next_page == cpu_buffer->commit_page))", ring_buffer
is still available, we should not corrupt it.

Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer

Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic.
If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take
place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error.

Each page in the ring buffer has a small header:

struct buffer_data_page {
	u64		time_stamp;
	local_t		commit;
	unsigned char	data[];
};

Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page)
to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs,
where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal
offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits
are never processed.

This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof.

Function ring_buffer_event_length() provides an interface to detect
the length of data stored in an entry. However, the length contains
offsets depending on the internal usage. This makes it unusable. This
patch fixes this and now ring_buffer_event_length() returns the
alligned length that has been used in ring_buffer_lock_reserve().

Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.

(Eventually, cpumask_var_t will be allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS).

Convert kernel trace functions to use struct cpumask API:
1) Use cpumask_copy/cpumask_test_cpu/for_each_cpu.
2) Use cpumask_var_t and alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var everywhere.
3) Use on_each_cpu instead of playing with current->cpus_allowed.

Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message

If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable
tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page,
the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page.

Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around
the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited
page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed
the commit page forward as stated above.

Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers

If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and
pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit
updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data. This will
cause the commit pointer to cease from moving forward.

Impact: remove dead code

struct ring_buffer.size is not set after ring_buffer is initialized
or resized. it is always 0.

we can use "buffer->pages * PAGE_SIZE" to get ring_buffer's size
