Linus Torvalds 495d714ad1 Tracing changes for v4.21:
- Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
    the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.
 
  - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure.
    This will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions
    to get the callback (return) of the function. This is the ground
    work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.
 
  - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
    features to the histograms in the future.
 
  - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently
    is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but
    only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be
    removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.
 
  - A few other various clean ups as well.
