Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
  of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.

  Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
  __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
  displayed as a a human comprehensible text.  What is placed in the
  TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
  space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
  express the values too.  Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
  macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
  much exactly as is.  The problem arises when enums are used.  That's
  because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
  the C pre-processor.  Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
  file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.

  The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
  the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
  user space.  For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
  in its format file:

     __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
        { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
        { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

  After adding:

     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

  Its format file will contain this:

     __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
        { 0, "flush on task switch" },
        { 1, "remote shootdown" },
        { 2, "local shootdown" },
        { 3, "local mm shootdown" })"
