Merge tag 'trace-v4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure.

   - With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from a
     list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
     forks.  With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set,
     will have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have
     their child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be
     traced as well.

     Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in
     set_event_pid exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid

   - The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers.  This includes a very
     thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
     This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
     events and their fields.

  Some other cleanups and updates were added as well.  Like Masami
  Hiramatsu added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers.
  Also I added a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when
  filters are set"
