When a process is running in the system space, it cann't be preempted until
it return to userspace, even if the process should be reschedule and other
process was ready to run(because the server system close the kernel preempt
by default). This schedule delay may impact the performance of waiting process,
therefor we introduce the longsys check to collect the schedule delay information
of process. The longsys indication could help us spot the possible performance
jitter in the system.

commit d19e789f068b3d633cbac430764962f404198022 upstream.
Backport summary: for 5.4 kernel fsgsbase support.
Linus pointed out that compiler.h - which is a key header that gets included in every
single one of the 28,000+ kernel files during a kernel build - was bloated in:
655389666643: ("vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation")

Move these primitives into a new header: <linux/instrumentation.h>, and include that
header in the headers that make use of it.
Unfortunately one of these headers is asm-generic/bug.h, which does get included
in a lot of places, similarly to compiler.h. So the de-bloating effect isn't as
good as we'd like it to be - but at least the interfaces are defined separately.
No change to functionality intended.
