Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.

The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
also available from perf probe.

ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
named rv in a probed function.

tracing, documentation: add a document describing how to do some performance analysis with tracepoints

The documentation for ftrace, events and tracepoints is pretty extensive.
Similarly, the perf PCL tools help files --help are there and the code
simple enough to figure out what much of the switches mean.  However,
pulling the discrete bits and pieces together and translating that into
"how do I solve a problem" requires a fair amount of imagination.

This says that Xorg allocated 3796 pages and it's parent process is gdm
with a PID of 3756;

The postprocessor parses the text output of tracing.  While there is a
binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily
translated into text and post-processed offline.  Obviously if the text
format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is
fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

Disable newly created kprobe events by default, not to disturb
another user using ftrace. "Disturb" means when someone is using
ftrace and another user tries to use perf-tools, (in near
future) if he defines new kprobe event via perf-tools, then new
events will mess up the frace buffer. Fix this to allow proper
and transparent kprobes events concurrent usage between ftrace
users and perf users.

Add argument name assignment support and remove "alias" lines from format.
This allows user to assign unique name to each argument. For example,

$ echo p do_sys_open dfd=a0 filename=a1 flags=a2 mode=a3 > kprobe_events

This assigns dfd, filename, flags, and mode to 1st - 4th arguments
respectively. Trace buffer shows those names too.

	<...>-1439  [000] 1200885.933147: do_sys_open+0x0/0xdf: dfd=ffffff9c filename=bfa898ac flags=8000 mode=0

This helps users to know what each value means.

Users can filter each events by these names too. Note that you can not
filter by argN anymore.

The latency_trace file got removed a while back by commit
886b5b73 and has been replaced
by the latency-format option.

This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.

Changes since v1:
 - mention that the trace format is configurable through the
   latency-format option
 - Fix a couple mistakes related to the timestamps

function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with
braces denoting the start and end of functions.  function-graph-fold.vim
teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to
browse them.

To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph
trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it
from the command-line together with a trace.  You can then use the usual
vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions.
While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would
normally appear on the line with the closing brace.  Folded functions
will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain
relatively sane even through a context switch.

Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU
trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1).  It also takes some time to run
(a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop).  Nevertheless, I found
it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on
problematic calls.

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.

debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
of debugfs filesystem.
- debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/

Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem.

Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities.

   * About sched_setscheduler(2)
      Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR
      can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99.
      (reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/
                  man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html)

   * From: Steven Rostedt
      0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO)

      99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks
      but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any
      kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be
      set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow
      for it.

      100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via
      sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call.

      140 - reserved for idle tasks.
