When run as normal user with default sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
and kernel.perf_event_paranoid=2, perf probe fails with:
$ ./perf probe move_page_tables
Relocated base symbol is not found!
The warning message is not much informative. The reason perf fails
is because /proc/kallsyms is restricted by perf_event_paranoid=2
for normal user and thus perf fails to read relocated address of
the base symbol.
Tweaking kptr_restrict and perf_event_paranoid can change the
behavior of perf probe. Also, running as root or privileged user
works too. Add these details in the warning message.
Plus, kmap->ref_reloc_sym might not be always set even if
host_machine is initialized. Above is the example of the same.
Remove that comment.

Commit 9bf3bc949f ("watchdog: cleanup handling of false positives")
tried to handle a virtual host stopped by the host a more
straightforward and cleaner way.
But it introduced a risk of false softlockup reports. The virtual host
might be stopped at any time, for example between
kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() and is_softlockup(). As a result,
is_softlockup() might read the updated jiffies and detects a softlockup.
A solution might be to put back kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() after
is_softlockup() and detect it. But it would put back the cycle that
complicates the logic.
In fact, the handling of all the timestamps is not reliable. The code
does not guarantee when and how many times the timestamps are read. For
example, "period_ts" might be touched anytime also from NMI and re-read in
is_softlockup(). It works just by chance.
Fix all the problems by making the code even more explicit.
1. Make sure that "now" and "period_ts" timestamps are read only once.
They might be changed at anytime by NMI or when the virtual guest is
stopped by the host. Note that "now" timestamp does this implicitly
because "jiffies" is marked volatile.
2. "now" time must be read first. The state of "period_ts" will
decide whether it will be used or the period will get restarted.
3. kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() must be called before reading
"period_ts". It touches the variable when the guest was stopped.
As a result, "now" timestamp is used only when the watchdog was not
touched and the guest not stopped in the meantime. "period_ts" is
restarted in all other situations.
