Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

<title>tracing: Consolidate trace_add/remove_event_call back to the nolock functions</title>

<id>7e1413edd6194a9807aa5f3ac0378b9b4b9da879</id>
<content type='text'>
The trace_add/remove_event_call_nolock() functions were added to allow
the tace_add/remove_event_call() code be called when the event_mutex
lock was already taken. Now that all callers are done within the
event_mutex, there's no reason to have two different interfaces.

Remove the current wrapper trace_add/remove_event_call()s and rename the
_nolock versions back to the original names.

<title>tracing: Replace synchronize_sched() and call_rcu_sched()</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code
as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can
be replaced by synchronize_rcu().  Similarly, call_rcu_sched() can be
replaced by call_rcu().  This commit therefore makes these changes.

<content type='text'>
Allow kprobe-events to record module symbols.

Since data symbols in a non-loaded module doesn't exist, it fails to
define such symbol as an argument of kprobe-event. But if the kprobe
event is defined on that module, we can defer to resolve the symbol
address.

Note that if given symbol is not found, the event is kept unavailable.
User can enable it but the event is not recorded.

<title>tracing/kprobes: Check the probe on unloaded module correctly</title>

<content type='text'>
Current kprobe event doesn't checks correctly whether the
given event is on unloaded module or not. It just checks
the event has ":" in the name.

That is not enough because if we define a probe on non-exist
symbol on loaded module, it allows to define that (with
warning message)

To ensure it correctly, this searches the module name on
loaded module list and only if there is not, it allows to
define it. (this event will be available when the target
module is loaded)

Add $argN special fetch variable for accessing function
arguments. This allows user to trace the Nth argument easily
at the function entry.

Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers
and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need
to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.
