Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing: Updates for v5.1


Linus,

The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code.

 - Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when $var
   changes.

 - Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
   snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered.
   ie. onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.

 - Add alternative for "trace()" action.
   Currently, to trigger a synthetic event, the name of that event is used
   as the handler name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
   onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
   onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still be
   allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with other
   handler names.

 - The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
   changes.

Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will make
it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be traced and
crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to set_ftrace_filter, and it
will select the corresponding function that is in
available_filter_functions).

Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information was added).

The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code.
