Merge tag 'trace-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This pull request has a lot of work done.  The main thing is the
  changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure.  It's
  introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
  different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.

  The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
  always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
  was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
  tracer trampoline was called.  The difference now, is that the
  function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
  is only being traced by the function graph trampoline.  If function
  tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
  done.

  The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
  tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
  uses.  I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
  ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
  one.

  Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
  that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
  tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths.  The stop of
  ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
  system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
  hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
  introduced into Linux.  Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
  such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
  "notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
  down into the guts of suspend and resume

  Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
  trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
  ftrace and tracing"

+ * The trace_seq is a handy tool that allows you to pass a descriptor around
+ * to a buffer that other functions can write to. It is similar to the
+ * seq_file functionality but has some differences.
+ *
+ * To use it, the trace_seq must be initialized with trace_seq_init().
+ * This will set up the counters within the descriptor. You can call
+ * trace_seq_init() more than once to reset the trace_seq to start
+ * from scratch.
+ * 
+ * The buffer size is currently PAGE_SIZE, although it may become dynamic
+ * in the future.
+ *
+ * A write to the buffer will either succed or fail. That is, unlike
+ * sprintf() there will not be a partial write (well it may write into
+ * the buffer but it wont update the pointers). This allows users to
+ * try to write something into the trace_seq buffer and if it fails
+ * they can flush it and try again.
