Subject: [RFC PATCH v3] Tracepoint: add exec tracepoint

New version adds 'old_pid' parameter and improves ChangeLog description.
---
From: David Smith <dsmith@...hat.com>

Added general purpose exec tracepoint. Exec is an important major
event in the life of a task (like fork or exit). If you want to watch
a task start up, when it gets exec'ed is a good place to start.  With
the addition of this tracepoint, exec's can be monitored and better
picture of general system activity can be obtained. This tracepoint
will also enable better process life tracking, allowing you to answer
questions like "what process keeps starting up process X?".

This tracepoint can also be useful in ftrace filtering (i.e. starting
or stopping filtering when exec is called)
