tracing: add event trace infrastructure
This patch creates the event tracing infrastructure of ftrace.
It will create the files:
/debug/tracing/available_events
/debug/tracing/set_event
The available_events will list the trace points that have been
registered with the event tracer.
set_events will allow the user to enable or disable an event hook.
example:
# echo sched_wakeup > /debug/tracing/set_event
Will enable the sched_wakeup event (if it is registered).
# echo "!sched_wakeup" >> /debug/tracing/set_event
Will disable the sched_wakeup event (and only that event).
# echo > /debug/tracing/set_event
Will disable all events (notice the '>')
# cat /debug/tracing/available_events > /debug/tracing/set_event
Will enable all registered event hooks.
