David S. Miller noticed the following bug: the -pg instrumentation
function callback is named differently on each platform. On x86 it
is mcount, on sparc it is _mcount. So the export does not make sense
in kernel/trace/ftrace.c - move it to x86.

It causes unaligned access traps on platforms like sparc
(ftrace_page may be marked packed, but once we return
a dyn_ftrace sub-object from this array to another piece
of code, the "packed" part of the typing information doesn't
propagate).

But also, it didn't serve any purpose either.  Even if packed,
on 64-bit or 32-bit, it didn't give us any more dyn_ftrace
entries per-page.

Very good point. I actually thought about dropping it, since it would
remove an unnecessary argument from the stack. And actually, since I now
have the marker_probe_cb sitting between the marker site and the
callbacks, there is no API change required. Thanks :)

Currently there is no protection from the root user to use up all of
memory for trace buffers. If the root user allocates too many entries,
the OOM killer might start kill off all tasks.

This patch adds an algorith to check the following condition:

 pages_requested > (freeable_memory + current_trace_buffer_pages) / 4

If the above is met then the allocation fails. The above prevents more
than 1/4th of freeable memory from being used by trace buffers.

To determine the freeable_memory, I made determine_dirtyable_memory in
mm/page-writeback.c global.

Special thanks goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting the above calculation.

Due to debug hooks in the kernel that can change the way smp_processor_id
works, use raw_smp_processor_id in mcount called functions (namely
ftrace_record_ip). Currently we annotate most debug functions from calling
mcount, but we should not rely on that to prevent kernel lockups.

This patch uses the raw_smp_processor_id to prevent a recusive crash
that can happen if a debug hook in smp_processor_id calls mcount.

This patch adds /debug/tracing/trace_entries that allows users to
see as well as modify the number of trace entries the buffers hold.

The number of entries only increments in ENTRIES_PER_PAGE which is
calculated by the size of an entry with the number of entries that
can fit in a page. The user does not need to use an exact size, but
the entries will be rounded to one of the increments.

Trying to set the entries to 0 will return with -EINVAL.

To avoid race conditions, the modification of the buffer size can only
be done when tracing is completely disabled (current_tracer == none).
A info message will be printed if a user tries to modify the buffer size
when not set to none.

Provides kernel modules a way to register custom page fault handlers.
On every page fault this will call a list of registered functions. The
functions may handle the fault and force do_page_fault() to return
immediately.

This functionality is similar to the now removed page fault notifiers.
Custom page fault handlers are used by debugging and reverse engineering
tools. Mmiotrace is one such tool and a patch to add it into the tree
will follow.

The custom page fault handlers are called earlier in do_page_fault()
