[PATCH 00/10] tracepoint perf counter events and new ABI

[Peter Zijlstra]

These patches change the event tracer to provide id files:

[root@opteron ~]# for i in /debug/tracing/events/irq/*/id; do echo `cat $i` - $i; done
28 - /debug/tracing/events/irq/irq_handler_entry/id
29 - /debug/tracing/events/irq/irq_handler_exit/id
27 - /debug/tracing/events/irq/softirq_entry/id
26 - /debug/tracing/events/irq/softirq_exit/id

These can then be used in profiling as:

[root@opteron linux-2.6]# ~/perfstat -e 2:28 make O=native-build/ -j4 lib
...

 Performance counter stats for 'make':

   18280.657602  task clock ticks     (msecs)

            465  tp: 28               (events)

 Wall-clock time elapsed: 11265.199196 msecs

Showing that we had 465 irq_handler_entry events during that workload.
