Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Main user visible change:

   - User events can now have "multi formats"

     The current user events have a single format. If another event is
     created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That
     is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a
     different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an
     event and updates its format. An application using the older format
     will prevent an application using the new library from registering
     its event.

     A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event
     names, and it creates events with different formats.

     The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
     format. Both the event name and its format are the unique
     identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the
     same user event name but with different payloads.

   - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
     not just the main top level tracing buffer.

  Other changes:

   - Add eventfs_root_inode

     Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away)
     and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands
     of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set
     in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a
     eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root
     inode will use this.

   - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs

     There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be
     hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to
     make sure that they are never hit.

   - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid
     array

     The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to
     hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already
     apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory
     can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as
     well.

   - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in
     TRACE_EVENT()

     Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:

         __string(name, source)

     And assigned with:

        __assign_str(name, source)

     In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to
     get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and
     __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer.
     There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT()
     macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in
     the ring buffer which is created by __string().

     There are several trace events that have a function to create the
     string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for
     __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for
     this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in
     __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also
     already has its length).

     By using the structure to store the source string for the
     assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is
     no longer needed.

     It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a
     warning if the source string given to __string() is different than
     the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to
     __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away.

   - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
     source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the
     next merge window.

     Included fixes that the above check found.

   - Other minor clean ups and fixes"
