Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace
  clock "monitonic raw".  Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer
  even faster.  But the biggest and most noticeable change is the
  renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to
  deal with trace events.

  Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their
  confusion with what ftrace is compared to events.  Technically,
  "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include
  tracing and also helps with live kernel patching.  But the trace
  events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the
  trace events should not be named "ftrace".  These include:

    include/trace/ftrace.h         -&gt;    include/trace/trace_events.h
    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   -&gt;    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               -&gt;    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    -&gt;    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            -&gt;    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -&gt;    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  -&gt;    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    -&gt;    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              -&gt;    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      -&gt;    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            -&gt;    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           -&gt;    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        -&gt;    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-&gt;    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -&gt;    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

  And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.

  This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
  heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything.  Mostly
  because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
  to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything
  external to that"

This commit updates the initialization of the kthread_prio boot parameter
so that RCU will build even when CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO is undefined.
The kthread_prio boot parameter is set to CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO if
that is defined, otherwise to 1 if CONFIG_RCU_BOOST is defined and
to zero otherwise.  This commit then makes CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO
depend on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT, so that Kconfig users won't be asked about
CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO unless they want to be.

This commit introduces an RCU_FANOUT_LEAF C-preprocessor macro so
that RCU will build even when CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF is undefined.
The RCU_FANOUT_LEAF macro is set to the value of CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF
when defined, otherwise it is set to 32 for 32-bit systems and 64 for
64-bit systems.  This commit then makes CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF depend
on CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT, so that Kconfig users won't be asked about
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF unless they want to be.

changes in how that tree is initialized.

<title>rcu: Convert CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT to boot parameter</title>

<content type='text'>
The CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter is used primarily (and
perhaps only) by rcutorture to verify that RCU works correctly in specific
rcu_node combining-tree configurations.  It therefore does not make
much sense have this as a question to people attempting to configure
their kernels.  So this commit creates an rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact=
boot parameter that rcutorture can use, and eliminates the original
CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_EXACT Kconfig parameter.

<title>rcu: Provide diagnostic option to slow down grace-period scans</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0f41c0ddadfb3d5baffe62351c380e2881aacd58</id>
<content type='text'>
Grace-period scans of the rcu_node combining tree normally
proceed quite quickly, so that it is very difficult to reproduce
races against them.  This commit therefore allows grace-period
pre-initialization and cleanup to be artificially slowed down,
increasing race-reproduction probability.  A pair of pairs of new
Kconfig parameters are provided, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT to
enable the slowing down of propagating CPU-hotplug changes up the
combining tree along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY to
specify the delay in jiffies, and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP
to enable the slowing down of the end-of-grace-period cleanup scan
along with RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY to specify the delay
in jiffies.  Boot-time parameters named rcutree.gp_preinit_delay and
rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay allow these delays to be specified at boot time.

<title>rcu: Shut up spurious gcc uninitialized-variable warning</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3eaaaf6cd6d7fbaf552cc543ccb93d7da81f43ec</id>
<content type='text'>
Because gcc doesn't realize that rcu_num_lvls must be strictly greater
than zero, some versions give a spurious warning about levelcnt[0] being
uninitialized in rcu_init_one().  This commit updates the condition on
the pre-existing panic() in order to educate gcc on this point.
