Convert the PM documents to ReST, in order to allow them to
build with Sphinx.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Add kprobe_event= boot parameter to define kprobe events
at boot time.
The definition syntax is similar to tracefs/kprobe_events
interface, but use ',' and ';' instead of ' ' and '\n'
respectively. e.g.
kprobe_event=p,vfs_read,$arg1,$arg2
This puts a probe on vfs_read with argument1 and 2, and
enable the new event.

Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.
The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.
+|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)
e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))
For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;
p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)
Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs.
So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.

Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event.
User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as
"string" for uprobe.
Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the
correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address
is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can
fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the
target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and
use this new type.

Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"]
putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost
similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function.
This patch (of 4):
The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to
shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more
similar to move_active_pages_to_lru().
To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate.
Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside
shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages
for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array.
Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we
account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of
pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

The current trace documentation, the section describing histogram's "onmatch"
is not straightforward enough about how this action is applied. It is not
clear what criteria are used to "match" both events. A short note is added,
describing what exactly is compared in order to match the events.

Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to
synthetic_event_name(params).
Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to
invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name
as a function call.
Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the
synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new
'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in
as the first argument.
In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change
the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call
form, which remains documented as equivalent.

Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
(which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
in.
When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
But this requires passing in half of the functions in
available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.
As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:
# echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
x86_pmu_commit_txn
# head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
x86_pmu_commit_txn
This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
less than a second!
# time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter
real 0m0.042s
user 0m0.005s
sys 0m0.015s
# wc -l set_ftrace_filter
20000 set_ftrace_filter

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.
- Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.
- Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
features to the histograms in the future.
- Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.
- A few other various clean ups as well.

Use dyn_event framework for uprobe events. This shows
uprobe events on "dynamic_events" file.
User can also define new uprobe events via dynamic_events.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes
Back in January I posted patches to create function based events.
These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to
easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After
posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement
this instead with kprobes.
The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and
needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and
I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in
the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches,
and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface.
- If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to
know what register or where on the stack the argument was).
- The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you
reference a mac address, you can add:
echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events
And this will produce:
mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}
Other changes include
- Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules
- Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).
- Added support for SDT in uprobes"
[ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.
Let's not use random TLA's in explanations unless they are fairly
well-established as generic (at least for kernel people) - Linus ]

Add $argN special fetch variable for accessing function
arguments. This allows user to trace the Nth argument easily
at the function entry.
Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers
and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need
to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.

Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is
TYPE[N]
Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.
The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

Add "symbol" type to probeevent, which is an alias of u32 or u64
(depends on BITS_PER_LONG). This shows the result value in
