Pull unused tracepoints update from Steven Rostedt:
 "Detect unused tracepoints.

  If a tracepoint is defined but never used (TRACE_EVENT() created but
  no trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of
  memory each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused
  tracepoints with various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory.

  Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an
  unused tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of
  unused tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring
  project can have new developers look for fixing them, without having
  these warnings suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel.

  When all known unused tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build
  parameter can be removed and unused tracepoints will always warn. This
  will catch new unused tracepoints after the current ones have been
  removed.

  Summary:

   - Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c

     Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the
     tracing tooling can use it.

   - Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process

     If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused
     tracepoints will trigger a warning at build time.

   - Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are
     exported

     There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel
     and used by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these
     are truly unused since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is
     exported, assume it will eventually be used by a module. Note,
     there's not many exported tracepoints so this should not be a
     problem to ignore them.

   - Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints

     Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also
     check modules. If a module is defining a tracepoint it should be
     using it.

   - Add the tracepoint-update program to the ignore file

     The new tracepoint-update program needs to be ignored by git"
