If one of the events within a system fails to enable when "1" is written
to the system "enable" file, it should return an error. Note, some events
may still be enabled, but the user should know that something did go wrong.

<title>tracing: Make tracepoint_printk a static_key</title>

Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel
command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very
dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging.

The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not
enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by
a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this
will remove the test and jump.

To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and
trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c.

The creation of the set_event_pid file was assigned to a variable "entry"
but that variable was never used. Ideally, it should be used to check if the
file was created and warn if it was not.

The files header_page, header_event should also be checked and a warning if
they fail to be created.

The "enable" file was moved up, as it is a more crucial file to have and a
hard failure (return -ENOMEM) should be returned if it is not created.

<title>tracing: Show the preempt count of when the event was called</title>

Because tracepoint callbacks are done with preemption enabled, the trace
events are always called with preempt disable due to the
rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace() in __DO_TRACE(). This causes the preempt count
shown in the recorded trace event to be inaccurate. It is always one more
that what the preempt_count was when the tracepoint was called.

If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled, subtract 1 from the preempt_count before
recording it in the trace buffer.

The addition of PIDs into a pid_list via the write operation of
set_event_pid is a bit complex. The same operation will be needed for
function tracing pids. Move the code into its own generic function in
trace.c, so that we can avoid duplication of this code.

To allow other aspects of ftrace to use the pid_list logic, we need to reuse
the seq_file functions. Making the generic part into functions that can be
called by other files will help in this regard.

As the filtered_pid functions are going to be used by function tracer as
well as trace_events, move the code into the generic trace.c file.

The functions moved are:

 trace_find_filtered_pid()
 trace_ignore_this_task()
 trace_filter_add_remove_task()

Kernel Doc text was also added.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure.

   - With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from a
     list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
     forks.  With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set,
     will have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have
     their child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be
     traced as well.

     Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in
     set_event_pid exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid

   - The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers.  This includes a very
     thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
     This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
     events and their fields.

  Some other cleanups and updates were added as well.  Like Masami
  Hiramatsu added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers.
  Also I added a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when
  filters are set"
