utrace-based ftrace "process" engine, v2

[Frank Ch. Eigler]

Hi -

This is v2 of the prototype utrace-ftrace interface.  This code is
based on Roland McGrath's utrace API, which provides programmatic
hooks to the in-tree tracehook layer.  This new patch interfaces many
of those events to ftrace, as configured by a small number of debugfs
controls.  Here's the /debugfs/tracing/process_trace_README:

process event tracer mini-HOWTO

1. Select process hierarchy to monitor.  Other processes will be
   completely unaffected.  Leave at 0 for system-wide tracing.
#  echo NNN > process_follow_pid

2. Determine which process event traces are potentially desired.
   syscall and signal tracing slow down monitored processes.
#  echo 0 > process_trace_{syscalls,signals,lifecycle}

3. Add any final uid- or taskcomm-based filtering.  Non-matching
   processes will skip trace messages, but will still be slowed.
#  echo NNN > process_trace_uid_filter # -1: unrestricted 
#  echo ls > process_trace_taskcomm_filter # empty: unrestricted

4. Start tracing.
#  echo process > current_tracer

5. Examine trace.
#  cat trace

6. Stop tracing.
#  echo nop > current_tracer
