perf tools: Simplify debugfs mountpoint handling code
We don't need to have two PATH_MAX char sized arrays holding it, just
one in util/debugfs.c will do.
Also rename debugfs_path to tracing_events_path, as it is not the path
to debugfs, that is debugfs_mountpoint. Both are now accessible.
This will allow accessing this code in the perf python binding without
having to drag in perf.c and util/parse-events.c.
The defaults for these variables are the canonical "/sys/kernel/debug"

events: Don't divide events if it has field period
This patch solves the following problem:
Now some samples may be lost due to throttling. The number of samples is
restricted by sysctl_perf_event_sample_rate/HZ. A trace event is
divided on some samples according to event's period. I don't sure, that
we should generate more than one sample on each trace event. I think the
better way to use SAMPLE_PERIOD.
E.g.: I want to trace when a process sleeps. I created a process, which
sleeps for 1ms and for 4ms. perf got 100 events in both cases.
swapper 0 [000] 1141.371830: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=1386750 [ns]
swapper 0 [000] 1141.369444: sched_stat_sleep: comm=foo pid=1801 delay=4499585 [ns]
In the first case a kernel want to send 4499585 events and
in the second case it wants to send 1386750 events.
perf-reports shows that process sleeps in both places equal time. It's
bug.
With this patch kernel generates one event on each "sleep" and the time
slice is saved in the field "period". Perf knows how handle it.

n_gsm: Fix timings
Alek Du reported that the code erroneously applies time to jiffies
conversions twice to the t1 and t2 values. In normal use on a modem link
this cases no visible problem but on a slower link it will break as with
HZ=1000 as is typical we are running t1/t2 ten times too fast.
Alek's original patch removed the conversion from the timer setting but we
in fact have to be more careful as the contents of t1/t2 are visible via
the device API and we thus need to correct the constants.

VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do
not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with
unpleasant consequences for NFS4.
Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline:
cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF'
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1};
if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl))
perror("setlk");
}
EOF
cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test
then on nfs4:
mount --bind file1 file2
/tmp/test < file1 # ok
/tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"...
What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint
crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server.
The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with
following procfs-style symlinks. I.e. set LOOKUP_JUMPED...

Report hardware dropped frame count as rx_fifo_errors.
- The count of transmitted packets reported by the forcedeth driver
reports pre-TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) packet counts and not the
count of the number of packets sent on the wire. This change fixes
the forcedeth driver to report the correct count. Fixed the code by
copying the count stored in the NIC H/W to the value reported by the
driver.
- Count rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors:
We see a lot of rx_drop_frame errors if we disable the rx bottom-halves
for too long. Normally, rx_fifo_errors would be counted in this case.
The rx_drop_frame error count is private to forcedeth and is not
reported by ifconfig or sysfs. The rx_fifo_errors count is currently
unused in the forcedeth driver. It is reported by ifconfig as overruns.
This change reports rx_drop_frame errors as rx_fifo_errors.

forcedeth: remove unneeded stats updates
Function ndo_get_stats() updates most of the stats from hardware
registers, making the manual updates un-needed. This change removes
these manual updates. Main exception is rx_missed_errors which needs
manual update.
Another exception is rx_packets, still updated manually in this commit

lockdep: Show subclass in pretty print of lockdep output
The pretty print of the lockdep debug splat uses just the lock name
to show how the locking scenario happens. But when it comes to
nesting locks, the output becomes confusing which takes away the point
of the pretty printing of the lock scenario.
Without displaying the subclass info, we get the following output:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(slock-AF_INET);
lock(slock-AF_INET);
lock(slock-AF_INET);
lock(slock-AF_INET);
