Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Added new "bootconfig".
This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.
Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.
Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.
- Created dynamic event creation.
Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
events.
- Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"
- Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"
Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"
- Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.
- Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized
- Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly
- Various other small fixes and clean ups

Because the function graph tracer can execute in sections where RCU is not
"watching", the rcu_dereference_sched() for the has needs to be open coded.
This is fine because the RCU "flavor" of the ftrace hash is protected by
its own RCU handling (it does its own little synchronization on every CPU
and does not rely on RCU sched).

Pull vfs recursive removal updates from Al Viro:
"We have quite a few places where synthetic filesystems do an
equivalent of 'rm -rf', with varying amounts of code duplication,
wrong locking, etc. That really ought to be a library helper.
Only debugfs (and very similar tracefs) are converted here - I have
more conversions, but they'd never been in -next, so they'll have to
wait"
* 'work.recursive_removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
simple_recursive_removal(): kernel-side rm -rf for ramfs-style filesystems
It's kind of strange to have check_arg() callbacks as part of the arg
objects themselves; it makes more sense to just pass these in when the
args are added instead.
Remove the check_arg() callbacks from those objects which also means
removing the check_arg() args from the init functions, adding them to
the add functions and fixing up existing callers.

The patch 'tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as
value' added code to return an existing variable reference when
creating a new variable reference, which resulted in var_ref_vals
slots being reused instead of being duplicated.
The implementation of the trace action assumes that the end of the
var_ref_vals array starting at action_data.var_ref_idx corresponds to
the values that will be assigned to the trace params. The patch
mentioned above invalidates that assumption, which means that each
param needs to explicitly specify its index into var_ref_vals.
This fix changes action_data.var_ref_idx to an array of var ref
indexes to account for that.

Add functions used to generate kprobe event commands, built on top of
the dynevent_cmd interface.
kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a kprobe event command
using a variable arg list, and kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() does
the same for kretprobe event commands. kprobe_event_add_fields() can
be used to add single fields one by one or as a group. Once all
desired fields are added, kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() or
kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() respectively are used to actually
execute the command and create the event.

Add an exported function named synth_event_trace(), allowing modules
or other kernel code to trace synthetic events.
Also added are several functions that allow the same functionality to
be broken out in a piecewise fashion, which are useful in situations
where tracing an event from a full array of values would be
cumbersome. Those functions are synth_event_trace_start/end() and
synth_event_add_(next)_val().

synth_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a synthetic event
command using a variable arg list and
synth_event_gen_cmd_array_start() does the same thing but using an
array of field descriptors. synth_event_add_field(),
synth_event_add_field_str() and synth_event_add_fields() can be used
to add single fields one by one or as a group. Once all desired
fields are added, synth_event_gen_cmd_end() is used to actually
execute the command and create the event.
synth_event_create() does everything, including creating the event, in
a single call.

Add an interface used to build up dynamic event creation commands,
such as synthetic and kprobe events. Interfaces specific to those
particular types of events and others can be built on top of this
interface.
Command creation is started by first using the dynevent_cmd_init()
function to initialize the dynevent_cmd object. Following that, args
are appended and optionally checked by the dynevent_arg_add() and
dynevent_arg_pair_add() functions, which use objects representing
arguments and pairs of arguments, initialized respectively by
dynevent_arg_init() and dynevent_arg_pair_init(). Finally, once all
args have been successfully added, the command is finalized and
actually created using dynevent_create().
The code here for actually printing into the dyn_event->cmd buffer
using snprintf() etc was adapted from v4 of Masami's 'tracing/boot:
Add synthetic event support' patch.

Add a function to get an event file and prevent it from going away on
module or instance removal.
trace_get_event_file() will find an event file in a given instance (if
instance is NULL, it assumes the top trace array) and return it,
pinning the instance's trace array as well as the event's module, if
applicable, so they won't go away while in use.
trace_put_event_file() does the matching release.
