Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This pull request has a new feature to ftrace, namely the trace event
  triggers by Tom Zanussi.  A trigger is a way to enable an action when
  an event is hit.  The actions are:

   o  trace on/off - enable or disable tracing
   o  snapshot     - save the current trace buffer in the snapshot
   o  stacktrace   - dump the current stack trace to the ringbuffer
   o  enable/disable events - enable or disable another event

  Namhyung Kim added updates to the tracing uprobes code.  Having the
  uprobes add support for fetch methods.

  The rest are various bug fixes with the new code, and minor ones for
  the old code"

+6. Event triggers
+=================
+
+Trace events can be made to conditionally invoke trigger 'commands'
+which can take various forms and are described in detail below;
+examples would be enabling or disabling other trace events or invoking
+a stack trace whenever the trace event is hit.  Whenever a trace event
+with attached triggers is invoked, the set of trigger commands
+associated with that event is invoked.  Any given trigger can
+additionally have an event filter of the same form as described in
+section 5 (Event filtering) associated with it - the command will only
+be invoked if the event being invoked passes the associated filter.
+If no filter is associated with the trigger, it always passes.
+
+Triggers are added to and removed from a particular event by writing
+trigger expressions to the 'trigger' file for the given event.
+
+A given event can have any number of triggers associated with it,
+subject to any restrictions that individual commands may have in that
+regard.
+
+Event triggers are implemented on top of "soft" mode, which means that
+whenever a trace event has one or more triggers associated with it,
+the event is activated even if it isn't actually enabled, but is
+disabled in a "soft" mode.  That is, the tracepoint will be called,
+but just will not be traced, unless of course it's actually enabled.
+This scheme allows triggers to be invoked even for events that aren't
+enabled, and also allows the current event filter implementation to be
+used for conditionally invoking triggers.
+
+The syntax for event triggers is roughly based on the syntax for
+set_ftrace_filter 'ftrace filter commands' (see the 'Filter commands'
+section of Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt), but there are major
+differences and the implementation isn't currently tied to it in any
+way, so beware about making generalizations between the two.
+
+6.1 Expression syntax
+---------------------
+
+Triggers are added by echoing the command to the 'trigger' file:
+
+  # echo 'command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger
+
+Triggers are removed by echoing the same command but starting with '!'
+to the 'trigger' file:
+
+  # echo '!command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger
+
+The [if filter] part isn't used in matching commands when removing, so
+leaving that off in a '!' command will accomplish the same thing as
+having it in.
+
+The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event
+filtering' section above.
+
+For ease of use, writing to the trigger file using '>' currently just
+adds or removes a single trigger and there's no explicit '>>' support
+('>' actually behaves like '>>') or truncation support to remove all
+triggers (you have to use '!' for each one added.)
+
+6.2 Supported trigger commands
+------------------------------
+
+The following commands are supported:
+
+- enable_event/disable_event
+
+  These commands can enable or disable another trace event whenever
+  the triggering event is hit.  When these commands are registered,
+  the other trace event is activated, but disabled in a "soft" mode.
+  That is, the tracepoint will be called, but just will not be traced.
+  The event tracepoint stays in this mode as long as there's a trigger
+  in effect that can trigger it.
+
+  For example, the following trigger causes kmalloc events to be
+  traced when a read system call is entered, and the :1 at the end
+  specifies that this enablement happens only once:
+
+  # echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
+
+  The following trigger causes kmalloc events to stop being traced
+  when a read system call exits.  This disablement happens on every
+  read system call exit:
+
+  # echo 'disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
+
+  The format is:
+
+      enable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
+      disable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
+
+  # echo '!disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
+      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be any number of enable/disable_event triggers
+  per triggering event, but there can only be one trigger per
+  triggered event. e.g. sys_enter_read can have triggers enabling both
+  kmem:kmalloc and sched:sched_switch, but can't have two kmem:kmalloc
+  versions such as kmem:kmalloc and kmem:kmalloc:1 or 'kmem:kmalloc if
+  bytes_req == 256' and 'kmem:kmalloc if bytes_alloc == 256' (they
+  could be combined into a single filter on kmem:kmalloc though).
+
+- stacktrace
+
+  This command dumps a stacktrace in the trace buffer whenever the
+  triggering event occurs.
+
+  For example, the following trigger dumps a stacktrace every time the
+  kmalloc tracepoint is hit:
+
+  # echo 'stacktrace' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The following trigger dumps a stacktrace the first 5 times a kmalloc
+  request happens with a size >= 64K
+
+  # echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The format is:
+
+      stacktrace[:count]
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!stacktrace' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  # echo '!stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  The latter can also be removed more simply by the following (without
+  the filter):
+
+  # echo '!stacktrace:5' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be only one stacktrace trigger per triggering
+  event.
+
+- snapshot
+
+  This command causes a snapshot to be triggered whenever the
+  triggering event occurs.
+
+  The following command creates a snapshot every time a block request
+  queue is unplugged with a depth > 1.  If you were tracing a set of
+  events or functions at the time, the snapshot trace buffer would
+  capture those events when the trigger event occured:
+
+  # echo 'snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To only snapshot once:
+
+  # echo 'snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  # echo '!snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be only one snapshot trigger per triggering
+  event.
+
+- traceon/traceoff
+
+  These commands turn tracing on and off when the specified events are
+  hit. The parameter determines how many times the tracing system is
+  turned on and off. If unspecified, there is no limit.
+
+  The following command turns tracing off the first time a block
+  request queue is unplugged with a depth > 1.  If you were tracing a
+  set of events or functions at the time, you could then examine the
+  trace buffer to see the sequence of events that led up to the
+  trigger event:
+
+  # echo 'traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To always disable tracing when nr_rq  > 1 :
+
+  # echo 'traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  To remove the above commands:
+
+  # echo '!traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  # echo '!traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
+        /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+  Note that there can be only one traceon or traceoff trigger per
+  triggering event.

+String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
+user space.
+Bitfield is another special type, which takes 3 parameters, bit-width, bit-
+offset, and container-size (usually 32). The syntax is;
+
+ b<bit-width>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>
