Fix the tracepoint documentation to refer to "tracepoint-sample"
instead of "tracepoint-example" to match what actually exists;
fix the directory, and clarify how to compile.
Change every instance of "example" in the sample tracepoint code
to "sample" for consistency.

Impact: clean up
The macros TPPROTO, TPARGS, TPFMT, TPRAWFMT, and TPCMD all look a bit
ugly. This patch adds an underscore to their names.

Impact: API *CHANGE*. Must update all tracepoint users.
Add DEFINE_TRACE() to tracepoints to let them declare the tracepoint
structure in a single spot for all the kernel. It helps reducing memory
consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for
kmalloc tracing.
*API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for
tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way
to do it. The name previously used was misleading.
Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.

Need a tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() before the end of exit() to
make sure every probe callers have exited the non preemptible section
and thus are not executing the probe code anymore.

Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/.
Patch originally by Randy Dunlap.
o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3
o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently,
the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc
o Cleaned up unneeded #includes
o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break
on archs that don't have kretprobes
o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES
o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git
o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to
determine routine execution times:
Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine
execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case
(one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a
supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path.
- Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback.
Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the
callback instead of the marker site.
Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that
supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no
arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the
preempt disable section.
- Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically
armed.
Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused.
This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe
"arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a
va_list * instead of a "...".
If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given
time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it,
connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail.
It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations :
Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics
with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call
a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.
