[PATCH 00/15] [git pull] for tip/tracing/ftrace

Ingo,

This is a patch series that offers a variety of features.

The first is to add:

#### all functions enabled ####

to set_ftrace_filter when all functions will be traced when function
tracing is on.

The next is to add a :command: interface, and the module command:

echo '*:mod:ext4' > set_ftrace_filter

Will select all functions in the ext4 module.

echo '!*write*:mod:ext4' > set_ftrace_filter

will remove all functions with the characters 'write' and are
in ext4.

Next we extend the :command: interface as well as add a way to
hook tracers to specific functions. Instead of tracing all functions
the same, this patch series adds a hash to be able to trace different
functions differently.

I implement a 'traceon' and 'traceoff' to have a function start or
stop tracing when it is hit. It also includes a counter for the
number of times to implement the trace on/off.

echo '*_lock:traceon:4' > set_ftrace_filter
echo '*_unlock:traceoff:5' > set_ftrace_filter

This will have all functions that end with _lock turn on tracing
and all that end with _unlock disable it, 4 times each.

The following patches are in:
