2017-11-05ftrace/docs: Add documentation on how to use ftrace from within the kernelSteven Rostedt
With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a callback to a function within the kernel.
