Fix: SWITCH_FLUSH new sub-buffer checks

The SWITCH_FLUSH, when performed on a completely empty sub-buffer, was

Fix: ring buffer: handle concurrent update in nested buffer wrap around check

With stress-test loads that trigger sub-buffer switch very frequently
(small 4kB sub-buffers, frequent flush) in lttng-modules, we currently
observe this kind of warnings once every few minutes:

[65335.896208] ring buffer relay-overwrite-mmap, cpu 5: records were lost. Caused by:
[65335.896208]   [ 0 buffer full, 1 nest buffer wrap-around, 0 event too big ]

It appears that the check for nested buffer wrap-around does not take
into account that a concurrent execution contexts (either nested for
per-cpu buffers, or from another CPU or nested for global buffers) can
update the commit_count value concurrently.

What we really want to do with this check is to ensure that if we enter
a sub-buffer that had an unbalanced reserve/commit count, assuming there
is no hope that this gets rebalanced promptly, we detect this and drop
the current event. However, in the case where the commit counter has
been concurrently updated by another reserve or a switch, we want to
retry the entire reserve operation.

One way to detect this is to sample the reserve offset twice, around the
commit counter read, along with the appropriate memory barriers.
Therefore, we can detect if the mismatch between reserve and commit
counter is actually caused by a concurrent update, which necessarily has
updated the reserve counter.

Fix: handle writes of length 0

lib_ring_buffer_write() could be passed a length of 0. This typically
has no side-effect as far as writing into the buffers is concerned,
except for one detail: in overwrite mode, there is a check to make sure
the sub-buffer can be written into. This check is performed even if
length is 0. In the case where this would fall exactly at the end of a
sub-buffer, the check would fail, because the offset would fall exactly
at the beginning of the next sub-buffer.

Fix: refcount issue in lttng-ust-abi.c

The following scenario could lead to a segmentation fault in
applications when the sessiond disappears or when the application try to
exit. This is caused by incorrect handling of reference counts.

This can happen in very particular race scenario, described as follows:

1) The sessiond asks for "release" of one or more objects (e.g. a
   session object), but _without_ asking for release of _all_ objects
   referencing the session.
2) The application exits, thus calling objd_table_destroy(). It walks on
   all objects, decrementing their reference count, freeing memory when
   their reference count reaches "1".

However, here is the issue: since "release" has already been performed
by sessiond on the session object, this extra reference count unref
performed by objd_table_destroy() can make the session object disappear
while it is still needed by either the channel object or the enabler
object. Therefore, we can experience a segmentation fault when we try to
unref and free the channel or enabler objects within
objd_table_destroy().

Fix this issue by adding the concept of an "owner reference". Only
objd_table_destroy(), lttng_ust_objd_table_owner_cleanup(), "release"
commands, and failure paths of object creation are allowed to decrement
the owner reference. We restrict objd_table_destroy() and
lttng_ust_objd_table_owner_cleanup() to _only_ decrement refcount of
objects _if_ their owner reference is still held.

Speed up probe registration for large amount of events

LTTng-UST probe registration is O(n^2). I actually left a comment that
describes this, also implying that we can improve this if it becomes an
issue.

I've had a report from Yang Wang, who works on instrumenting the J9 VM,
that O(n^2) does not agree well with 16000 probes and tracepoints.

It appears that lttng_probe_register() is being too paranoid for its own
good. There are now many things that are guaranteed by the way probe
providers are being built.

We actually need to keep a check that no provider with the same name has
been registered (O(n) on the number of registered providers, could be
improved with a hash table if it ever becomes necessary).

Use an assert to check that each event name starts with its own provider
name (it would be an internal error within the provider if it's not the
case). (O(n) on the number of events within a provider)

The rest is just useless, so remove this O(n^2) check.

While we are there, remove the now unused
lttng_event_get()/lttng_event_put() functions.

Fix: Conditionally disable tests requiring shared libs support

When building lttng-ust with shared library support explicitly
disabled (e.g.: ./configure --disable-shared), libtool fail with
a fatal error:

  CC       tp.lo
  CC       tp2.lo
  CCLD     liblttng-ust-provider-ust-tests-demo.la
libtool: link: can not build a shared library
libtool: link: See the libtool documentation for more information.
libtool: link: Fatal configuration error.

The build should not fail because some tests require explicit shared
library support, instead they should be skipped.

This patch detect that the --disable-shared flag was passed to the
configure script and toggle the "NO_SHARED" Automake variable.
Thus, the tests that require explicit shared library support can
be skipped when the NO_SHARED variable is true.

Fix: reloc offset validation error out on filters with no reloc table

The reloc table is currently appended at the end of the bytecode data.
With this scheme, the reloc table offset will be equal to the length
of the bytecode data.

<- length ->
+----------+-------------+
| BYTECODE | RELOC TABLE |
+----------+-------------+
           |
           +--> Reloc table offset

A special case arise with filters with no reloc table.

Example:

Filter: "myString" == "yourString"
./filter-grammar-test -p -B -i -b < bogus
<root>
        <op type="==">
                <expression>
                        <string value="myString"/>
                </expression>
                <expression>
                        <string value="yourString"/>
                </expression>
        </op>
</root>

Reloc table (offset: 24):
Empty

<-   24   ->
+----------+
| BYTECODE | <- No reloc table
+----------+
           |
           +--> Reloc table offset

In this case, we see that the reloc table offset (24) is indeed equal to
the length of the bytecode (24), but the reloc table is _empty_. Thus,
the reloc_offset received in handle_message() will be equal to the
data_size and will be wrongly flagged as not within the data even thought
the filter is entirely valid.

The fix is to simply allow a reloc_offset to be equal to the data_size.
