[PATCH v2 0/6] use canonical ftrace path whenever possible

[Ross Zwisler]

Changes in v2:
 * Dropped patches which were pulled into maintainer trees.
 * Split BPF patches out into another series targeting bpf-next.
 * trace-agent now falls back to debugfs if tracefs isn't present.
 * Added Acked-by from mst@xxxxxxxxxx to series.
 * Added a typo fixup for the virtio-trace README.

Steven, assuming there are no objections, would you feel comfortable
taking this series through your tree?

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:

  Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
  file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
  For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
  the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

There are many places where this older debugfs path is still used in
code comments, selftests, examples and tools, so let's update them to
avoid confusion.

I've broken up the series as best I could by maintainer or directory,
and I've only sent people the patches that I think they care about to
avoid spamming everyone.

Ross Zwisler (6):
  tracing: always use canonical ftrace path
  selftests: use canonical ftrace path
  leaking_addresses: also skip canonical ftrace path
  tools/kvm_stat: use canonical ftrace path
  tools/virtio: use canonical ftrace path
  tools/virtio: fix typo in README instructions
