Subject: [for-next][PATCH 01/11] tracing: Make percpu stack trace buffer invariant to PAGE_SIZE

From: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@....com>

Previously the size of "struct ftrace_stacks" depended upon PAGE_SIZE.
For the common 4K page size, on a 64-bit system, sizeof(struct
ftrace_stacks) was 32K. But for a 64K page size, sizeof(struct
ftrace_stacks) was 512K.

But ftrace stack usage requirements should be invariant to page size. So
let's redefine FTRACE_KSTACK_ENTRIES so that "struct ftrace_stacks" is
always sized at 32K for 64-bit and 16K for 32-bit.

As a side effect, it removes the PAGE_SIZE compile-time constant
assumption from this code, which is required to reach the goal of
boot-time page size selection.
