Support mixing a value and subkeys under a key. Since kernel cmdline
options will support "aaa.bbb=value1 aaa.bbb.ccc=value2", it is
better that the bootconfig supports such configuration too.
Note that this does not change syntax itself but just accepts
mixed value and subkeys e.g.
key = value1
key.subkey = value2
But this is not accepted;
key {
value1
subkey = value2
}
That will make value1 as a subkey.
Also, the order of the value node under a key is fixed. If there
are a value and subkeys, the value is always the first child node
of the key. Thus if user specifies subkeys first, e.g.
key.subkey = value1
key = value2
In the program (and /proc/bootconfig), it will be shown as below
key = value2
key.subkey = value1

It is not possible to put an array value with subkeys under
a key node, because both of subkeys and the array elements
are using "next" field of the xbc_node.
Thus this changes the array values to use "child" field in
the array case. The reason why split this change is to
test it easily.

Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4. To fill the gap,
the bootconfig command uses null characters in between the bootconfig
data and the footer. This will expands the footer size but don't change
the checksum.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows.
[initrd][bootconfig][(pad)][size][csum]["#BOOTCONFIG\n"]

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Updates for tracing and bootconfig:
- Add support for "bool" type in synthetic events
- Add per instance tracing for bootconfig
- Support perf-style return probe ("SYMBOL%return") in kprobes and
uprobes
- Allow for kprobes to be enabled earlier in boot up
- Added tracepoint helper function to allow testing if tracepoints
are enabled in headers
- Synthetic events can now have dynamic strings (variable length)
- Various fixes and cleanups"
* tag 'trace-v5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (58 commits)
tracing: support "bool" type in synthetic trace events
selftests/ftrace: Add test case for synthetic event syntax errors
tracing: Handle synthetic event array field type checking correctly
selftests/ftrace: Change synthetic event name for inter-event-combined test
tracing: Add synthetic event error logging
tracing: Check that the synthetic event and field names are legal
tracing: Move is_good_name() from trace_probe.h to trace.h
tracing: Don't show dynamic string internals in synthetic event description
tracing: Fix some typos in comments
tracing/boot: Add ftrace.instance.*.alloc_snapshot option
tracing: Fix race in trace_open and buffer resize call
tracing: Check return value of __create_val_fields() before using its result
tracing: Fix synthetic print fmt check for use of __get_str()
tracing: Remove a pointless assignment
ftrace: ftrace_global_list is renamed to ftrace_ops_list
ftrace: Format variable declarations of ftrace_allocate_records
ftrace: Simplify the calculation of page number for ftrace_page->records
ftrace: Simplify the dyn_ftrace->flags macro
ftrace: Simplify the hash calculation
ftrace: Use fls() to get the bits for dup_hash()
...
Add a ftrace2bconf.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a bootconfig file from the current ftrace settings.
To read the ftrace settings, ftrace2bconf.sh requires the root
privilege (or sudo). The ftrace2bconf.sh will output the bootconfig
to stdout and error messages to stderr, so usually you'll run it as
# ftrace2bconf.sh > ftrace.bconf
Note that some ftrace configurations are not supported. For example,
function-call/callgraph trace/notrace settings are not supported because
the wildcard has been expanded and lost in the ftrace anymore.

Add a bconf2ftrace.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a shell script to setup boot-time trace from bootconfig file for testing
the bootconfig.
bconf2ftrace.sh will take a bootconfig file (includes boot-time tracing)
and convert it into a shell-script which is almost same as the boot-time
tracer does.
If --apply option is given, it also tries to apply those command to the
running kernel, which requires the root privilege (or sudo).
For example, if you just want to confirm the shell commands, save
the output as below.
# bconf2ftrace.sh ftrace.bconf > ftrace.sh
Or, you can apply it directly.
# bconf2ftrace.sh --apply ftrace.bconf
Note that some boot-time tracing parameters under kernel.* are not able
to set via tracefs nor procfs (e.g. tp_printk, traceoff_on_warning.),
so those are ignored.
