Subject: [PATCH][GIT PULL] tracing: Do not limit the size of the number of
 CPU buffers


Ingo,

I rebased my tree. This one removed the trace_bprintk() from modules
patch, since it may be questionable. But to not keep this patch from
being pulled, I put it separately. I'll post a core-3 soon with the
trace_bprintk() patch as well.

    tracing: Do not limit the size of the number of CPU buffers
    
    The tracing per_cpu buffers were limited to 999 CPUs for a mear
    savings in stack space of a char array. Up the array to 30 characters
    which is more than enough to hold a 64 bit number.
