[patch V6 04/37] x86: Make hardware latency tracing explicit

[Thomas Gleixner]

The hardware latency tracer calls into trace_sched_clock and ends up in
various instrumentable functions which is problemeatic vs. the kprobe
handling especially the text poke machinery. It's invoked from
nmi_enter/exit(), i.e. non-instrumentable code.

Use nmi_enter/exit_notrace() instead. These variants do not invoke the
hardware latency tracer which avoids chasing down complex callchains to
make them non-instrumentable.

The real interesting measurement is the actual NMI handler. Add an explicit
invocation for the hardware latency tracer to it.

#DB and #BP are uninteresting as they really should not be in use when
analzying hardware induced latencies.

If #DF hits, hardware latency is definitely not interesting anymore and in
case of a machine check the hardware latency is not the most troublesome
issue either.
