If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.
The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.
[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]
Update:
It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
through the functions to call.

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild-fixes:
Don't clean bounds.h and asm-offsets.h
kconfig: incorrect 'len' field initialisation ?
kernel-doc: allow unnamed bit-fields
kbuild: filter away debug symbols from kernel symbols
Remove *.rej pattern from .gitignore
MAINTAINERS: document names of new kbuild trees
kbuild: disable modpost warnings for linkonce sections
kbuild: escape meta characters in regular expression in make TAGS
Since 97965478a6 ("mm: Get rid of __ZONE_COUNT")
mmzone.h includes bounds.h.
Calling make clean after make prepare removes bounds.h
again so when building external modules this fails.

PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific
subdirs soon. "make help" currently does not look in subdirs to
find the defconfigs to show. This is partially a good thing,
since there are way too many defconfigs for one list.
This patch makes the main "make help" display something like
help-40x - Show 40x-specific targets
help-44x - Show 44x-specific targets
help-boards - Show all of the above
and wires up stuff so those new help-* commands actually work.
[sam: fixed it up to display x86 defconfigs too]

Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.
I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures. With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.
With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.
At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should
obsolete make checkstack

Currently there is only code to parse NUMA attributes on
sun4v/niagara systems, but later on we will add such parsing
for older systems.
