Oleg Nesterov found and fixed a bug in the perf/ftrace/uprobes code where

running:
 
    # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
    # echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
    # perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever
 
 kills the uprobe. Along the way he found some other minor bugs and clean ups
 that he fixed up making it a total of 4 patches.
 
 Doing unrelated work, I found that the reading of the ftrace trace
 file disables all function tracer callbacks. This was fine when ftrace
 was the only user, but now that it's used by perf and kprobes, this
 is a bug where reading trace can disable kprobes and perf. A very unexpected
 side effect and should be fixed.
