[GIT PULL v6] hw-breakpoints: Rewrite on top of perf events v6

Ingo,

Please pull the tracing/hw-breakpoints branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/random-tracing.git
tracing/hw-breakpoints

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST)

- Currently, events scheduling are done in this order: cpu context
pinned + cpu context non-pinned + task context pinned + task context
non-pinned events. Then our current constraints are right theoretically
but not in practice, because non-pinned counters may be scheduled
before we can apply every possible pinned counters. So consider
non-pinned counters as pinned for now (thanks Paul for reporting this)

Thanks,
Frederic
