[PATCH 2/5] tracing: Allow stacktraces to be saved as histogram variables

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Allow to save stacktraces into a histogram variable. This will be used by
synthetic events to allow a stacktrace from one event to be passed and
displayed by another event.

The special keyword "stacktrace" is to be used to trigger a stack
trace for the event that the histogram trigger is attached to.

  echo 'hist:keys=pid:st=stacktrace" > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger

Currently nothing can get access to the "$st" variable above that contains
the stack trace, but that will soon change.
