Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] Introducing trace buffer mapping by user-space

The tracing ring-buffers can be stored on disk or sent to network without any
copy via splice. However the later doesn't allow real time processing of the
traces. A solution is to give access to userspace to the ring-buffer pages
directly via a mapping. A piece of software can now become a reader of the
ring-buffer, and drive a consuming or non-consuming read in a similar fashion to
what trace and trace_pipe offer.

Attached to this cover letter an example of consuming read for a ring-buffer,
using libtracefs.

Vincent

v3 -> v3:
  * Add to the meta-page:
       - pages_lost / pages_read (allow to compute how full is the ring-buffer)
       - read (allow to compute how many entries can be read)
       - A reader_page struct.
  * Rename ring_buffer_meta_header -> ring_buffer_meta
  * Rename ring_buffer_get_reader_page -> ring_buffer_map_get_reader_page
  * Properly consume events on ring_buffer_map_get_reader_page() with
    rb_advance_reader().

v2 -> v3:
  * Remove data page list (for non-consuming read)
    ** Implies removing order > 0 meta-page
  * Add a new meta page field ->read
  * Rename ring_buffer_meta_page_header into ring_buffer_meta_header

v1 -> v2:
  * Hide data_pages from the userspace struct
  * Fix META_PAGE_MAX_PAGES
  * Support for order > 0 meta-page
  * Add missing page->mapping.
