Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should
be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events
when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest
events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just
after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

tracing_enabled should not be used, it is heavy weight and does not
do much in helping lower the overhead.
tracing_on should be used instead. Warn users to use tracing_on
when tracing_enabled is used as it will soon be removed from the
tracing directory.

The trace events sched_switch and sched_wakeup do the same thing
as the stand alone sched_switch tracer does. It is no longer needed.

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.
v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

'ftrace' is no longer the name of the function tracer, to activate
the function trace 'echo function > current_tracer' is to be used instead
of 'echo ftrace > current_tracer'. Update the documentation to reflect
the current implementation.

While implementing function tracer and function tracer graph support,
I found the exact arch implementation details to be a bit lacking
(and my x86 foo ain't great). So after pounding out support for
the Blackfin arch, start documenting the requirements/details.

The latency_trace file got removed a while back by commit
886b5b73d71e4027d7dc6c14f5f7ab102201ea6b and has been replaced
by the latency-format option.
This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.
Changes since v1:
- mention that the trace format is configurable through the
latency-format option
- Fix a couple mistakes related to the timestamps

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/"
directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to
./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file.
And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is
existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation,
Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem.
debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah
hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name
of debugfs filesystem.
- debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/
Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem.

Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities.
* About sched_setscheduler(2)
Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR
can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99.
(reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/
man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html)
* From: Steven Rostedt
0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO)
99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks
but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any
kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be
set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow
for it.
100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via
sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call.
140 - reserved for idle tasks.

Move kmemtrace.txt, tracepoints.txt, ftrace.txt and mmiotrace.txt to

I didnt find any references to those documents in both source
files and documents, so no extra work needs to be done.
