5a0d9050db tracing/kprobes: Disable kprobe events by default after creation
Disable newly created kprobe events by default, not to disturb
another user using ftrace. "Disturb" means when someone is using
ftrace and another user tries to use perf-tools, (in near
future) if he defines new kprobe event via perf-tools, then new
events will mess up the frace buffer. Fix this to allow proper
and transparent kprobes events concurrent usage between ftrace
users and perf users.

f52487e9c0 tracing/kprobes: Support custom subsystem for each kprobe event
Support specifying a custom subsystem(group) for each kprobe event.
This allows users to create new group to control several probes
at once, or add events to existing groups as additional tracepoints.

555f386c98 ftrace: document function and function graph implementation

eca0d916f6 tracing/kprobes: Add argument name support
Add argument name assignment support and remove "alias" lines from format.
This allows user to assign unique name to each argument. For example,

$ echo p do_sys_open dfd=a0 filename=a1 flags=a2 mode=a3 > kprobe_events

This assigns dfd, filename, flags, and mode to 1st - 4th arguments
respectively. Trace buffer shows those names too.

	<...>-1439  [000] 1200885.933147: do_sys_open+0x0/0xdf: dfd=ffffff9c filename=bfa898ac flags=8000 mode=0

This helps users to know what each value means.

Users can filter each events by these names too. Note that you can not
filter by argN anymore.

4a88d44ab1 tracing: Remove mentioning of legacy latency_trace file from documentation

886b5b73d7 and has been replaced

This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.

 - mention that the trace format is configurable through the
   latency-format option
 - Fix a couple mistakes related to the timestamps

6591b49387 tracing: Add vim script to enable folding for function_graph traces
function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with
braces denoting the start and end of functions.  function-graph-fold.vim
teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to
browse them.

To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph
trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it
from the command-line together with a trace.  You can then use the usual
vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions.
While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would
normally appear on the line with the closing brace.  Folded functions
will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain
relatively sane even through a context switch.

Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU
trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1).  It also takes some time to run
(a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop).  Nevertheless, I found
it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on
problematic calls.

156f5a7801 debugfs: Fix terminology inconsistency of dir name to mount debugfs filesystem.
Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
of debugfs filesystem.
- debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/

Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem.

The function graph tracer is called just "function_graph" (no trailing
"_tracer" needed).

294ae40115 ftrace: fix typo about map of kernel priority in ftrace.txt file.
Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities.

   * About sched_setscheduler(2)
      Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR
      can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99.
      (reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/
                  man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html)

   * From: Steven Rostedt
      0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO)

      99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks
      but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any
      kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be
      set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow
      for it.

      100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via
      sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call.

      140 - reserved for idle tasks.

143c145e3a tracing/events: Documentation updates
- fix some typos
- document the difference between '>' and '>>'
- document the 'enable' toggle
- remove section "Defining an event-enabled tracepoint", since it's
  out-dated and sample/trace_events/ already serves this purpose.

v2: add "Updated by Li Zefan"

[ Impact: make documentation up-to-date ]

66bb74888e tracing: consolidate documents
Move kmemtrace.txt, tracepoints.txt, ftrace.txt and mmiotrace.txt to
the new trace/ directory.

I didnt find any references to those documents in both source
files and documents, so no extra work needs to be done.
