Linus Torvalds 2600a46ee0 This includes two new updates for the ftrace infrastructure.
1) With the changing of the code for filtering events by pid, from
   a list of pids to a bitmask, we can now easily implement following
   forks. With a new tracing option "event-fork" which, when set, will
   have tasks with pids in set_event_pid, when they fork, to have their
   child pids added to set_event_pid and the child will be traced as well.
 
   Note, if "event-fork" is set and a task with its pid in set_event_pid
   exits, its pid will be removed from set_event_pid
 
 2) The addition of Tom Zanussi's hist triggers. This includes a very
    thorough documentatino on how to use the hist triggers with events.
    This introduces a quick and easy way to get histogram data from
    events and their fields.
 
 Some other cleanups and updates were added as well. Like Masami Hiramatsu
 added test cases for the event trigger and hist triggers. Also I added
 a speed up of filtering by using a temp buffer when filters are set.
