The tests may leave stuff in the buffers. This resets the buffers
after each test is run. If a test fails, it does not reset the
buffer to avoid touching a buffer that is corrupted.

This patch fixes some bugs to the updating of the max trace that
was caused by implementing the new buffering.

Using raw_local_irq_save/restore confuses lockdep.
It's fine to use the normal ones.

Allocating large buffers for the tracer may fail easily.
This patch converts the buffer from a large ordered allocation
to single pages. It uses the struct page LRU field to link the
pages together.
Later patches may also implement dynamic increasing and decreasing
of the trace buffers.

This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch
does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will
be used by later patches.
If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files
to the debugfs:
The root tracing directory:
/debugfs/tracing/
This patch also adds the following files:
available_tracers
list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are
available. Looking into this file only shows
"none" which is used to unregister all tracers.
current_tracer
The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up.
To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that
are listed in available_tracers:
example: (used with later patches)
echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
To disable the tracer:
echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
tracing_enabled
echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing
(if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1)
echoing "0" turns it off.
latency_trace
This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace.
trace
This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace.
iter_ctrl
Controls the way the output of traces look.
So far there's two controls:
echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables
without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured)
echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show
a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by
humans.
echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly.
echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.
