Masami Hiramatsu 9c5b9d3d65 tracing/boot: Add boot-time tracing
Setup tracing options via extra boot config in addition to kernel
command line.

This adds following commands support. These are applied to
the global trace instance.

 - ftrace.options = OPT1[,OPT2...]
   Enable given ftrace options.

 - ftrace.trace_clock = CLOCK
   Set given CLOCK to ftrace's trace_clock.

 - ftrace.buffer_size = SIZE
   Configure ftrace buffer size to SIZE. You can use "KB" or "MB"
   for that SIZE.

 - ftrace.events = EVENT[, EVENT2...]
   Enable given events on boot. You can use a wild card in EVENT.

 - ftrace.tracer = TRACER
   Set TRACER to current tracer on boot. (e.g. function)

Note that this is NOT replacing the kernel parameters, because
this boot config based setting is later than that. If you want to
trace earlier boot events, you still need kernel parameters.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
