While implementing function tracer and function tracer graph support,
I found the exact arch implementation details to be a bit lacking
(and my x86 foo ain't great).  So after pounding out support for
the Blackfin arch, start documenting the requirements/details.

<title>tracing: Remove mentioning of legacy latency_trace file from documentation</title>

<id>4a88d44ab17da5f8a238050d1b43dfd2e204bc2f</id>
<content type='text'>
The latency_trace file got removed a while back by commit
886b5b73d71e4027d7dc6c14f5f7ab102201ea6b and has been replaced
by the latency-format option.

This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.

Changes since v1:
 - mention that the trace format is configurable through the
   latency-format option
 - Fix a couple mistakes related to the timestamps

<content type='text'>
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.

* From Steven Rostedt
  - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.

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.

the new trace/ directory.

I didnt find any references to those documents in both source
