* 'tracing-v28-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (131 commits) tracing/fastboot: improve help text tracing/stacktrace: improve help text tracing/fastboot: fix initcalls disposition in bootgraph.pl tracing/fastboot: fix bootgraph.pl initcall name regexp tracing/fastboot: fix issues and improve output of bootgraph.pl tracepoints: synchronize unregister static inline tracepoints: tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() ftrace: make ftrace_test_p6nop disassembler-friendly markers: fix synchronize marker unregister static inline tracing/fastboot: add better resolution to initcall debug/tracing trace: add build-time check to avoid overrunning hex buffer ftrace: fix hex output mode of ftrace tracing/fastboot: fix initcalls disposition in bootgraph.pl tracing/fastboot: fix printk format typo in boot tracer ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer ftrace: make some tracers reentrant ring-buffer: make reentrant ring-buffer: move page indexes into page headers tracing/fastboot: only trace non-module initcalls ftrace: move pc counter in irqtrace ... Manually fix conflicts: - init/main.c: initcall tracing - kernel/module.c: verbose level vs tracepoints - scripts/bootgraph.pl: fallout from cherry-picking commits.

Load the driver you want to trace and use it. Mmiotrace will only catch MMIO
accesses to areas that are ioremapped while mmiotrace is active.
-[Unimplemented feature:]
During tracing you can place comments (markers) into the trace by
-$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/marker
+$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/trace_marker
This makes it easier to see which part of the (huge) trace corresponds to
which action. It is recommended to place descriptive markers about what you
do.
