Impact: new API.
Allow markers to be used only for declaration, without function call
associated. Useful to create specialized probes.
The problem we had is that two function calls were required when one
wanted to put a marker in a tracepoint probe. Now the marker can be used
simply for trace data type declaration, leaving the trace write work
within the tracepoint probe without any additional function call.

Impact: rename file /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl to /debug/tracing/trace_options
The original ftrace had a file called "iter_ctrl" that would control
the way the output was iterated. But this file grew into a catch all
for different trace options. This patch renames the file from iter_ctrl
to trace_options to reflect this change.

Impact: change the units of buffer_size_kb to kilobytes
This patch changes the units of the buffer_size_kb file to kilobytes.
Reading and writing to the file uses kilobytes as units. To help
users to know what units are used, the output of the file now
looks like:
# cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb

Impact: rename of debugfs file trace_entries to buffer_size_kb
The original ftrace had fixed size entries, and the number of entries
was shown and modified via the file called trace_entries. By converting
to the unified trace buffer, we now allow for variable size entries
which makes the meaning of trace_entries pointless.
Since trace_size might be confused to the size of the trace, this patch
names it "buffer_size_kb" (thanks to Arjan van de Ven for this idea).
[ mingo@elte.hu: changed from buffer_size to buffer_size_kb ]
( Note, the units are still bytes - the next patch changes that,
to keep the wide rename patch separate from the unit-change patch. )

Commit d0fc2eaaf4 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor

booting-without-of.txt into separate files. Having them all in one file
was a frequent source of merge conflicts.
However, in the next merge, 49997d7515, there
was another conflict. Some of the bindings removed from
booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in
dts-bindings were kept as well.

FAT has the ATTR_RO (read-only) attribute. But on Windows, the ATTR_RO
of the directory will be just ignored actually, and is used by only
applications as flag. E.g. it's setted for the customized folder by
Explorer.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969337.aspx
This adds "rodir" option. If user specified it, ATTR_RO is used as
read-only flag even if it's the directory. Otherwise, inode->i_mode
is not used to hold ATTR_RO (i.e. fat_mode_can_save_ro() returns 0).

Impact: add new generic io_map_*() APIs
Graphics devices have large PCI apertures which would consume a significant
fraction of a 32-bit address space if mapped during driver initialization.
Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow.
This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a
large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit
performance and optimal 64-bit performance.
The current implementation sits atop the io_map_atomic fixmap-based
mechanism for 32-bit processors.

ftrace: handle archs that do not support irqs_disabled_flags
Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures
Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that
is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were
disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user
if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled.
Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to
compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply
say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing
the real answer.
This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the
architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer
to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those
same archs compile with tracing enabled.
