- Revert: "ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU hotplug"
A crash that happened on cpu hotplug was actually caused by the incorrect
ref counting that was fixed by commit 2cf9733891a4 ("ring-buffer: Fix
refcount setting of boot mapped buffers"). The removal of calling cpu
hotplug callbacks on memory mapped buffers was not an issue even though
the tests at the time pointed toward it. But in fact, there's a check in
that code that tests to see if the buffers are already allocated or not,
and will not allocate them again if they are. Not calling the cpu hotplug
callbacks ended up not initializing the non boot CPU buffers.
Simply remove that change.
- Clear all CPU buffers when starting tracing in a boot mapped buffer
To properly process events from a previous boot, the address space needs to
be accounted for due to KASLR and the events in the buffer are updated
accordingly when read. This also requires that when the buffer has tracing
enabled again in the current boot that the buffers are reset so that events
from the previous boot do not interact with the events of the current boot
and cause confusing due to not having the proper meta data.
It was found that if a CPU is taken offline, that its per CPU buffer is not
reset when tracing starts. This allows for events to be from both the
previous boot and the current boot to be in the buffer at the same time.
Clear all CPU buffers when tracing is started in a boot mapped buffer.
