    Jovi Zhangwei 提交于
    This patch introduces ktap to staging tree.
    
    ktap is a new script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux,
    it uses a scripting language and lets users trace the
    Linux kernel dynamically. ktap is designed to give
    operational insights with interoperability that allow
    users to tune, troubleshoot and extend kernel and application.
    It's similar with Linux Systemtap and Solaris Dtrace.
    
    ktap have different design principles from Linux mainstream
    dynamic tracing language in that it's based on bytecode,
    so it doesn't depend upon GCC, doesn't require compiling
    kernel module for each script, safe to use in production
    environment, fulfilling the embedded ecosystem's tracing needs.
    
    See ktap tutorial for more information:
        http://www.ktap.org/doc/tutorial.html
    
    The merit of putting this software in staging tree is
    to make it more possible to get feedback from users
    and thus polish the code.
