Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix broken direct trampolines being called when another callback is
   attached the same function.

   ARM 64 does not support FTRACE_WITH_REGS, and when it added direct
   trampoline calls from ftrace, it removed the "WITH_REGS" flag from
   the ftrace_ops for direct trampolines. This broke x86 as x86 requires
   direct trampolines to have WITH_REGS.

   This wasn't noticed because direct trampolines work as long as the
   function it is attached to is not shared with other callbacks (like
   the function tracer). When there are other callbacks, a helper
   trampoline is called, to call all the non direct callbacks and when
   it returns, the direct trampoline is called.

   For x86, the direct trampoline sets a flag in the regs field to tell
   the x86 specific code to call the direct trampoline. But this only
   works if the ftrace_ops had WITH_REGS set. ARM does things
   differently that does not require this. For now, set WITH_REGS if the
   arch supports WITH_REGS (which ARM does not), and this makes it work
   for both ARM64 and x86.

 - Fix wasted memory in the saved_cmdlines logic.

   The saved_cmdlines is a cache that maps PIDs to COMMs that tracing
   can use. Most trace events only save the PID in the event. The
   saved_cmdlines file lists PIDs to COMMs so that the tracing tools can
   show an actual name and not just a PID for each event. There's an
   array of PIDs that map to a small set of saved COMM strings. The
   array is set to PID_MAX_DEFAULT which is usually set to 32768. When a
   PID comes in, it will add itself to this array along with the index
   into the COMM array (note if the system allows more than
   PID_MAX_DEFAULT, this cache is similar to cache lines as an update of
   a PID that has the same PID_MAX_DEFAULT bits set will flush out
   another task with the same matching bits set).

   A while ago, the size of this cache was changed to be dynamic and the
   array was moved into a structure and created with kmalloc(). But this
   new structure had the size of 131104 bytes, or 0x20020 in hex. As
   kmalloc allocates in powers of two, it was actually allocating
   0x40000 bytes (262144) leaving 131040 bytes of wasted memory. The
   last element of this structure was a pointer to the COMM string array
   which defaulted to just saving 128 COMMs.

   By changing the last field of this structure to a variable length
   string, and just having it round up to fill the allocated memory, the
   default size of the saved COMM cache is now 8190. This not only uses
   the wasted space, but actually saves space by removing the extra
   allocation for the COMM names.
