When the CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_VALIDATE_TIME_DELTAS is enabled, and the time
stamps are detected as not being valid, it reports information about the
write stamp, but does not show the before_stamp which is still useful
information. Also, it should give a warning once, such that tests detect
this happening.

Part of the logic of the new time stamp code depends on the before_stamp and
the write_stamp to be different if the write_stamp does not match the last
event on the buffer, as it will be used to calculate the delta of the next
event written on the buffer.

The discard logic depends on this, as the next event to come in needs to
inject a full timestamp as it can not rely on the last event timestamp in
the buffer because it is unknown due to events after it being discarded. But
by changing the write_stamp back to the time before it, it forces the next
event to use a full time stamp, instead of relying on it.

The issue came when a full time stamp was used for the event, and
rb_time_delta() returns zero in that case. The update to the write_stamp
(which subtracts delta) made it not change. Then when the event is removed
from the buffer, because the before_stamp and write_stamp still match, the
next event written would calculate its delta from the write_stamp, but that
would be wrong as the write_stamp is of the time of the event that was
discarded.

In the case that the delta change being made to write_stamp is zero, set the
before_stamp to zero as well, and this will force the next event to inject a
full timestamp and not use the current write_stamp.

The cpu_buffer argument is not used inside the rb_inc_page() after
commit 3adc54fa82a6 ("ring-buffer: make the buffer a true circular link
list").
And cpu_buffer argument is not used inside the two functions too,
rb_is_head_page/rb_set_list_to_head.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config
  option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

  Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a
  struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture
  has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will
  have enough information to read the arguments of the function being
  traced, as well as access to the stack pointer.

  This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the
  arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback,
  that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate
  a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes).

  A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring
  buffer at most every event recorded.

  Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection
  to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
  callbacks).

  Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace
  to do it for it (saving on that extra function call).

  New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that
  lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the
  function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as
  recursion slows down the function tracer.

  The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a
  work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.

  Various clean ups and last minute fixes"

It was believed that metag was the only architecture that required the ring
buffer to keep 8 byte words aligned on 8 byte architectures, and with its
removal, it was assumed that the ring buffer code did not need to handle
this case. It appears that sparc64 also requires this.

The following was reported on a sparc64 boot up:

   kernel: futex hash table entries: 65536 (order: 9, 4194304 bytes, linear)
   kernel: Running postponed tracer tests:
   kernel: Testing tracer function:
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140
   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a24] trace_function+0x44/0x140

   kernel: Kernel unaligned access at TPC[552a20] trace_function+0x40/0x140
   kernel: PASSED

Need to put back the 64BIT aligned code for the ring buffer.

It may be better to check each page is aligned by 4 bytes. The 2
least significant bits of the address will be used as flags.
