trace: consolidate unlikely and likely profiler
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Impact: clean up to make one profiler of like and unlikely tracer

The likely and unlikely profiler prints out the file and line numbers
of the annotated branches that it is profiling. It shows the number
of times it was correct or incorrect in its guess. Having two
different files or sections for that matter to tell us if it was a
likely or unlikely is pretty pointless. We really only care if
it was correct or not.

This tracer profiles all the the likely and unlikely macros
in the kernel. It will display the results in:

/debugfs/tracing/profile_likely
/debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely
/debugfs/tracing/profile_annotated_branch

Note: this will add a significant overhead, only turn this
on if you need to profile the system's use of these macros.
