Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

<title>tracing: Fix memory leak of instance function hash filters</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2840f84f74035e5a535959d5f17269c69fa6edc5</id>
<content type='text'>
The following commands will cause a memory leak:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo schedule &gt; instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter
 # rmdir instances/foo

The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance
and the instance is removed.

Found by kmemleak detector.

<title>ftrace: Allow ftrace_replace_code() to be schedulable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a0572f687fb3c46e15554f4789797a077cc393b4</id>
<content type='text'>
The function ftrace_replace_code() is the ftrace engine that does the
work to modify all the nops into the calls to the function callback in
all the functions being traced.

The generic version which is normally called from stop machine, but an
architecture can implement a non stop machine version and still use the
generic ftrace_replace_code(). When an architecture does this,
ftrace_replace_code() may be called from a schedulable context, where
it can allow the code to be preemptible, and schedule out.

In order to allow an architecture to make ftrace_replace_code()
schedulable, a new command flag is added called:

 FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP

Which can be or'd to the command that is passed to
ftrace_modify_all_code() that calls ftrace_replace_code() and will have
it call cond_resched() in the loop that modifies the nops into the
calls to the ftrace trampolines.

<title>function_graph: Have profiler use new helper ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack()</title>

The ret_stack processing is going to change, and that is going
to break anything that is accessing the ret_stack directly. One user is the
function graph profiler. By using the ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() helper
function, the profiler can access the ret_stack entry without relying on the
implementation details of the stack itself.

<title>fgraph: Add new fgraph_ops structure to enable function graph hooks</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return
function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where
the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that
contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code
to be able to do such.

This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in
ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure
is passed in to the registering function.

The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we
allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the
system know which one to remove.

To make the function graph infrastructure more managable, the code needs to
be in its own file (fgraph.c). Move the code that is specific for managing
the function graph infrastructure out of ftrace.c and into fgraph.c

In order to move function graph infrastructure into its own file (fgraph.h)
it needs to access various functions and variables in ftrace.c that are
currently static. Create a new file called ftrace-internal.h that holds the
function prototypes and the extern declarations of the variables needed by
fgraph.c as well, and make them global in ftrace.c such that they can be
used outside that file.

<title>function_graph: Have profiler use curr_ret_stack and not depth</title>

The profiler uses trace-&gt;depth to find its entry on the ret_stack, but the
depth may not match the actual location of where its entry is (if an
interrupt were to preempt the processing of the profiler for another
function, the depth and the curr_ret_stack will be different).

Have it use the curr_ret_stack as the index to find its ret_stack entry
instead of using the depth variable, as that is no longer guaranteed to be
the same.
