Subject: [RFC] ftrace, perf: Adding support to use function trace

hi,
here's another version of perf support for function trace
with filter. The changeset is working and hopefully is not
introducing more bugs.. ;) still testing.

Patch 1 through 3 could be probably taken separately as they
fix independent issues. The rest is specific to the perf
function tracing.

I needed a way to temporarily enable/disable ftrace_ops based
on the event in/out scheduling, patch 4/9 is introducing that.
Not sure this is the best way though..

Also adding open/close, add/del registration actions for
tracepoint (patches 5,6) to have suitable place to control
the function trace.

Patch 7 enables the function event perf registration,
and patches 8 and 9 add filter support.

attached patches:
- 1/9 trace: Fix uninitialized variable compiler warning
- 2/9 ftrace: Fix possible NULL dereferencing in __ftrace_hash_rec_update
- 3/9 ftrace: Fix shutdown to disable calls properly
- 4/9 ftrace: Add enable/disable ftrace_ops control interface
- 5/9 ftrace, perf: Add open/close tracepoint perf registration actions
- 6/9 ftrace, perf: Add add/del tracepoint perf registration actions
- 7/9 ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perf
- 8/9 ftrace, perf: Add FILTER_TRACE_FN event field type
- 9/9 ftrace, perf: Add filter support for function trace event

thanks for comments,
jirka
