Merge tag 'trace-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This pull request has a lot of work done.  The main thing is the
  changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure.  It's
  introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
  different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.

  The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
  always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
  was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
  tracer trampoline was called.  The difference now, is that the
  function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
  is only being traced by the function graph trampoline.  If function
  tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
  done.

  The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
  tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
  uses.  I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
  ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
  one.

  Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
  that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
  tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths.  The stop of
  ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
  system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
  hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
  introduced into Linux.  Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
  such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
  "notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
  down into the guts of suspend and resume

  Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
  trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
  ftrace and tracing"

-code will take care of doing the checking for you.

-To support this feature, you only need to check the function_trace_stop
-variable in the mcount function.  If it is non-zero, there is no tracing to be
-done at all, so you can return.
