Subject: [for-next][PATCH 06/21] ring-buffer: Add page_stamp to iterator for synchronization

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Have the ring_buffer_iter structure contain a page_stamp, such that it can
be used to see if the writer entered the page the iterator is on. When going
to a new page, the iterator will record the time stamp of that page. When
reading events, it can copy the event to an internal buffer on the iterator
(to be implemented later), then check the page's time stamp with its own to
see if the writer entered the page. If so, it will need to try to read the
event again.
