tracing: Sample module to demonstrate kernel access to Ftrace instances.
...
This is a sample module to demonstrate the use of the newly introduced and
exported APIs to access Ftrace instances from within the kernel.
Newly introduced APIs used here -
1. Create/Lookup a trace array with the given name.
struct trace_array *trace_array_get_by_name(const char *name)
2. Destroy/Remove a trace array.
int trace_array_destroy(struct trace_array *tr)
4. Enable/Disable trace events:
int trace_array_set_clr_event(struct trace_array *tr, const char *system,
const char *event, bool enable);
Exported APIs -
1. trace_printk equivalent for instances.
int trace_array_printk(struct trace_array *tr,
unsigned long ip, const char *fmt, ...);
2. Helper function.
void trace_printk_init_buffers(void);
3. To decrement the reference counter.
void trace_array_put(struct trace_array *tr)
Sample output(contents of /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/sample-instance)
NOTE: Tracing disabled after ~5 sec)

ftrace: Add another example of register_ftrace_direct() use case
...
Add another module sample that registers a direct trampoline to a function
via register_ftrace_direct(). Having another module that does this allows to
test the use case of multiple direct callers registered, as more than one
direct caller goes into another path, and is needed to perform proper
testing of the register_ftrace_direct() call.
