    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
    
     - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
       the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.
    
     - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
       will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
       callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
       kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.
    
     - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
       features to the histograms in the future.
    
     - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
       a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
       returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
       the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.
    
     - A few other various clean ups as well.
