Now that all arches have been converted over to use generic time via
clocksources or arch_gettimeoffset(), we can remove the GENERIC_TIME
config option and simplify the generic code.

<title>tracing: Remove sysprof ftrace plugin</title>

The sysprof ftrace plugin doesn't seem to be seriously used
somewhere. There is a branch in the sysprof tree that makes
an interface to it, but the real sysprof tool uses either its
own module or perf events.

Drop the sysprof ftrace plugin then, as it's mostly useless.

The ksym (breakpoint) ftrace plugin has been superseded by perf
tools that are much more poweful to use the cpu breakpoints.
This tracer doesn't bring more feature. It has been deprecated
for a while now, lets remove it.

The boot tracer is useless. It simply logs the initcalls
but in fact these initcalls are also logged through printk
while using the initcall_debug kernel parameter.

Nobody seem to be using it so far. Then just remove it.

<title>x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code</title>

<content type='text'>
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.

So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.
