There's a few cases that a string that is to be recorded in a trace event,
does not have a terminating 'nul' character, and instead, the tracepoint
passes in the length of the string to record.

Add two helper macros to the trace event code that lets this work easier,
than tricks with "%.*s" logic.

  __string_len() which is similar to __string() for declaration, but takes a
                 length argument.

  __assign_str_len() which is similar to __assign_str() for assiging the
                 string, but it too takes a length argument.

Note, the TRACE_EVENT() macro will allocate the location on the ring
buffer to 'len + 1', that will be used to store the string into. It is a
requirement that the 'len' used for this is a most the length of the
string being recorded.

This string can still use __get_str() just like strings created with
__string() can use to retrieve the string.

<title>trace: Add __print_ns_to_secs() and __print_ns_without_secs() helpers</title>

To have nanosecond output displayed in a more human readable format, its
nicer to convert it to a seconds format (XXX.YYYYYYYYY). The problem is that
to do so, the numbers must be divided by NSEC_PER_SEC, and moded too. But as
these numbers are 64 bit, this can not be done simply with '/' and '%'
operators, but must use do_div() instead.

Instead of performing the expensive do_div() in the hot path of the
tracepoint, it is more efficient to perform it during the output phase. But
passing in do_div() can confuse the parser, and do_div() doesn't work
exactly like a normal C function. It modifies the number in place, and we
don't want to modify the actual values in the ring buffer.

Two helper functions are now created:

  __print_ns_to_secs() and __print_ns_without_secs()

They both take a value of nanoseconds, and the former will return that
number divided by NSEC_PER_SEC, and the latter will mod it with NSEC_PER_SEC
giving a way to print a nice human readable format:

 __print_fmt("time=%llu.%09u",
	__print_ns_to_secs(REC-&gt;nsec_val),
	__print_ns_without_secs(REC-&gt;nsec_val))

<title>tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments</title>

<content type='text'>
To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments
in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value.

Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are
translated to hash values instead of pointer address.

However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a
hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel.
(Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too)
So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf().

Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs
can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable
from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Current definition define DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT to be DEFINE_EVENT.
Actually, at this point DEFINE_EVENT is already an empty macro. Let's

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups
