Subject: [for-next][PATCH 00/21] tracing: Updates for 3.17

This is my current 3.17 queue. I'm still waiting on acks from various
arch maintainers to add the ftrace_stop/start() removal code that I also
want to add to this.

This includes various clean ups and enhancements, but the big feature
is the "trampoline" field added to the ftrace_ops. The only user of
that currently is the function_graph tracer. This is because the
function graph tracer normally jumps to the function tracer mcount
trampoline, saves and restores regs without doing anything before it
gets to the function graph code that also saves and restores regs
(slightly differently mind you), and runs its code. Now, if function
graph tracer is the only callback of a function, its code will be called
directly, skipping the function trampoline entirely.

The trace_seq code was also cleaned up. This opens up the possibility
that the trace_seq can be converted to "seq_buf" and used for printing
in NMI context.

I'm still waiting on a Acked-by from the SCSI folks for a change to
the trace_seq code that removes some open access of the trace_seq buffer.
I wont push this to my next branch until I hear back from them.

The way to push will also let people give me feedback before this becomes
solidified in stone, as I don't like to rebase my for-next branch.
