One can choose kernel wide breakpoints using the following helpers
and passing them a generic struct hw_breakpoint:

- register_kernel_hw_breakpoint()
- unregister_kernel_hw_breakpoint()
- modify_kernel_hw_breakpoint()

On the other side, you can choose per task breakpoints.

- register_user_hw_breakpoint()
- unregister_user_hw_breakpoint()
- modify_user_hw_breakpoint()

When the stat tracing framework prepares the entries from a tracer
to output them to the user, it starts by computing a linear sort
through a linked list to give the entries ordered by relevance
to the user.

This is quite ugly and causes a small latency when we begin to
read the file.

This patch changes that by turning the linked list into a red-black
tree. Athough the whole iteration using the start and next tracer
callbacks while opening the file remain the same, it is now much
more fast and scalable.

The rbtree guarantees O(log(n)) insertions whereas a linked
list with linear sorting brought us a O(n) despair. Now the
(visible) latency has disapeared.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().

This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.

Eg:

--Task A--

print_trace_line(trace) {
  event = find_ftrace_event(trace)

--Task B--

trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
  list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
    unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
      hlist_del(ev->event->node)
        list_del(....)
    }
  }
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped

--Task A--

  event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory

If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.

RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

register_module_notifier() returns zero in the success case.
So fix the inverted fail case check in trace events modules
handler.

debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some
of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup().
One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices
with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with
a message like this:

	BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error

If so, the respective entries in debugfs
(e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent
attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not
succeed due to existing directories.

- fix some typos
- document the difference between '>' and '>>'
- document the 'enable' toggle
- remove section "Defining an event-enabled tracepoint", since it's
  out-dated and sample/trace_events/ already serves this purpose.

v2: add "Updated by Li Zefan"

return zero should be correct, so fix it.
