Steven Rostedt (VMware) 646f01ccdd ftrace/selftest: Add tests to test register_ftrace_direct()
Add two test cases that test the new ftrace direct functionality if the
ftrace-direct sample module is available. One test case tests against each
available tracer (function, function_graph, mmiotrace, etc), and the other
test tests against a kprobe at the same location as the direct caller. Both
tests follow the same pattern of testing combinations:

  enable test (either the tracer or the kprobe)
  load direct function module
  unload direct function module
  disable test

  enable test
  load direct function module
  disable test
  unload direct function module

  load direct function module
  enable test
  disable test
  unload direct function module

  load direct function module
  enable test
  unload direct function module
  disable test

As most the bugs in development happened with various ways of enabling or
disabling the direct calls with function tracer in one of these
combinations.

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.
