The usage of strict_strtoul() is not preferred, because
strict_strtoul() is obsolete. Thus, kstrtoul() should be
used.

Add the "cpudump" command to have the current CPU ftrace buffer dumped
to console if a function is hit. This is useful when debugging a
tripple fault, where you have an idea of a function that is called
just before the tripple fault occurs, and can tell ftrace to dump its
content out to the console before it continues.

This differs from the "dump" command as it only dumps the content of
the ring buffer for the currently executing CPU, and does not show
the contents of the other CPUs.

Format is:

  <function>:cpudump

echo 'bad_address:cpudump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

To remove this:

echo '!bad_address:cpudump' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

The ftrace.txt document has been suffering from some serious bit rot.

Updated the current content to how things are as of v3.10.
Remove things that no longer exist.
Add documentation about new features:
  per_cpu
  stats
  instances
  stack trace
  etc.

Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should
be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events
when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest
events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just
after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

tracing_enabled should not be used, it is heavy weight and does not
do much in helping lower the overhead.

tracing_on should be used instead. Warn users to use tracing_on
when tracing_enabled is used as it will soon be removed from the
tracing directory.

The trace events sched_switch and sched_wakeup do the same thing
as the stand alone sched_switch tracer does. It is no longer needed.
