Currently kdb's ftdump command will livelock by constantly printk'ing
the empty string at KERN_EMERG level if it run when the ftrace system is
not in use. This occurs because trace_empty() never returns false when
the ring buffers are left at the start of a non-consuming read [launched
by ring_buffer_read_start()].
This patch changes the loop exit condition to use the result of
trace_find_next_entry_inc(). Effectively this switches the non-consuming
kdb dumper to follow the approach of the non-consuming userspace
interface [s_next()] rather than the consuming ftrace_dump().

Currently kdb's ftdump command unconditionally crashes due to a null
pointer de-reference whenever the command is run. This in turn causes
the kernel to panic.
The abridged stacktrace (gathered with ARCH=arm) is:

The NULL deref occurs due to the initialized use of struct trace_iter's
buffer_iter member.
This is a regression, albeit a fairly elderly one. It was introduced
by commit 6d158a813efc ("tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from
trace_iterator").
This patch solves this by providing a collection of ring_buffer_iter(s)
and using this to initialize buffer_iter. Note that static allocation
is used solely because the trace_iter itself is also static allocated.
Static allocation also means that we have to NULL-ify the pointer during
cleanup to avoid use-after-free problems.

Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.
The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.
This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.
The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data
descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to
be allocated per_cpu arrays. Instead of using the static arrays, switch
the global and max-tr to use allocated data.

Both RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS and TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU are defined as
-1 and used to say that all the ring buffers are to be modified
or read (instead of just a single cpu, which would be >= 0).
There's no reason to keep TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU as it is also started
to be used for more than what it was created for, and now that
the ring buffer code added a generic RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS define,
we can clean up the trace code to use that instead and remove
the TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU macro.

Now that include/linux/kdb.h properly exports all the functions
required to dynamically add a kdb shell command, the reference to the
private kdb header can be removed.

In systems with more than one processor it is desirable to look at the
per cpu trace buffers.

Add in a helper function to allow the kdb shell to dump the ftrace
buffer.
Modify trace.c to expose the capability to iterate over the ftrace
buffer in a read only capacity.
