[PATCH 00/19] [GIT PULL][v3.6] ftrace: Allow kprobes to work with ftace

[Steven Rostedt]

Ingo,

This patch series extends ftrace function tracing utility to be
more dynamic for its users. It allows for data passing to the callback
functions, as well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger
at function entry.

The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use ftrace
as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an ftrace nop.
With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going through lots of
iterations, we finally came up with a good solution.

I've tested it vigorously (although, like always, there may be some
subtle bug), but I feel it is ready for inclussion for the 3.6 merge
window.
