[for-linus][PATCH 3/3] tracepoint: Use rcu get state and cond sync for static call updates

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

State transitions from 1->0->1 and N->2->1 callbacks require RCU
synchronization. Rather than performing the RCU synchronization every
time the state change occurs, which is quite slow when many tracepoints
are registered in batch, instead keep a snapshot of the RCU state on the
most recent transitions which belong to a chain, and conditionally wait
for a grace period on the last transition of the chain if one g.p. has
not elapsed since the last snapshot.

This applies to both RCU and SRCU.

This brings the performance regression caused by commit 231264d6927f
("Fix: tracepoint: static call function vs data state mismatch") back to
what it was originally.

Before this commit:

  # trace-cmd start -e all
  # time trace-cmd start -p nop

  real	0m10.593s
  user	0m0.017s
  sys	0m0.259s

After this commit:

  # trace-cmd start -e all
  # time trace-cmd start -p nop

  real	0m0.878s
  user	0m0.000s
  sys	0m0.103s
