Linus Torvalds 6cdfa54cd2 The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code.
- Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when $var
    changes.
 
  - Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
    snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered.
    ie. onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.
 
  - Add alternative for "trace()" action.
    Currently, to trigger a synthetic event, the name of that event is used
    as the handler name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
    onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
    onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still be
    allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with other
    handler names.
 
  - The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
    changes.
 
 Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will make
 it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be traced and
 crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to set_ftrace_filter, and it
 will select the corresponding function that is in
 available_filter_functions).
 
 Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information was added).
 
 The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code.
