Impact: fix build failure on llvm-gcc-4.2
According to the gcc manual, the 'used' attribute should be applied to
functions referenced only from inline assembly.
This fixes a build failure with llvm-gcc-4.2, which deleted
__mutex_lock_slowpath, __mutex_unlock_slowpath.

Impact: avoid losing some traces when a task is freed
do_exit() is not the last function called when a task finishes.
There are still some functions which are to be called such as
ree_task(). So we delay the freeing of the return stack to the
last moment.

Impact: update documentation
Update to reflect the current state of the tracing framework:

Impact: fix mmiotrace overrun tracing
When ftrace framework moved to use the ring buffer facility, the buffer
overrun detection was broken after 2.6.27 by commit

| ftrace: make work with new ring buffer
|
| This patch ports ftrace over to the new ring buffer.
The detection is now fixed by using the ring buffer API.
When mmiotrace detects a buffer overrun, it will report the number of
lost events. People reading an mmiotrace log must know if something was
missed, otherwise the data may not make sense.

Impact: cleanup
User stack tracing is just implemented for x86, but it is not x86 specific.
Introduce a generic config flag, that is currently enabled only for x86.
When other arches implement it, they will have to
SELECT USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT.

Impact: fix compiler warning
The ftrace_pointers used in the branch profiler are constant values.
They should never change. But the compiler complains when they are
passed into the debugfs_create_file as a data pointer, because the
function discards the qualifier.
This patch typecasts the parameter to debugfs_create_file back to
a void pointer. To remind the callbacks that they are pointing to
a constant value, I also modified the callback local pointers to
be const struct ftrace_pointer * as well.

Impact: add new API to disable all of ftrace on anomalies
It case of a serious anomaly being detected (like something caught by
lockdep) it is a good idea to disable all tracing immediately, without
grabing any locks.
This patch adds ftrace_off_permanent that disables the tracers, function
tracing and ring buffers without a way to enable them again. This should
only be used when something serious has been detected.

Impact: feature to permanently disable ring buffer
This patch adds a API to the ring buffer code that will permanently
disable the ring buffer from ever recording. This should only be
called when some serious anomaly is detected, and the system
may be in an unstable state. When that happens, shutting down the
recording to the ring buffers may be appropriate.

Impact: feature to profile if statements
This patch adds a branch profiler for all if () statements.
The results will be found in:
/debugfs/tracing/profile_branch
For example:
miss hit % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
0 1 100 x86_64_start_reservations head64.c 127
0 1 100 copy_bootdata head64.c 69
1 0 0 x86_64_start_kernel head64.c 111
32 0 0 set_intr_gate desc.h 319
1 0 0 reserve_ebda_region head.c 51
1 0 0 reserve_ebda_region head.c 47
0 1 100 reserve_ebda_region head.c 42
0 0 X maxcpus main.c 165
Miss means the branch was not taken. Hit means the branch was taken.
The percent is the percentage the branch was taken.
This adds a significant amount of overhead and should only be used
by those analyzing their system.

Impact: cleanup on output of branch profiler
When a branch has not been taken, it does not make sense to show
a percentage incorrect or hit. This patch changes the behaviour
to print out a 'X' when the branch has not been executed yet.
For example:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
2096 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 832
0 0 X do_arch_prctl process_64.c 804
2604 0 0 IS_ERR err.h 34
130228 5765 4 __switch_to process_64.c 673

Impact: clean up to make one profiler of like and unlikely tracer
The likely and unlikely profiler prints out the file and line numbers
of the annotated branches that it is profiling. It shows the number
of times it was correct or incorrect in its guess. Having two
different files or sections for that matter to tell us if it was a
likely or unlikely is pretty pointless. We really only care if
it was correct or not.
