Hi All,

The following set of patches add ktap tracing tool.

ktap is a new script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux.
It uses a scripting language and lets the user trace system dynamically.

Highlights features:
* a simple but powerful scripting language
* register-based interpreter (heavily optimized) in Linux kernel
* small and lightweight
* not depend on the GCC toolchain for each script run
* easy to use in embedded environments without debugging info
* support for tracepoint, kprobe, uprobe, function trace, timer, and more
* supported in x86, ARM, PowerPC, MIPS
* safety in sandbox

Simple examples:
1). simplest one-liner command to enable all tracepoints
ktap -e "trace *:* { print(argstr) }"

2). syscall tracing on target process
ktap -e "trace syscalls:* { print(argstr) }" -- ls

3). simple syscall tracing
ktap -e "trace syscalls:* { print(cpu, pid, execname, argstr) }"

4). ftrace
ktap -e "trace ftrace:function /ip==mutex*/ { print(argstr) }"

5). syscall tracing in histogram style
var s = {}

trace syscalls:sys_enter_* {
s[probename] += 1
}

trace_end {
print_hist(s)
}

6). kprobe tracing
trace probe:do_sys_open dfd=%di fname=%dx flags=%cx mode=+4($stack) {
print("entry:", execname, argstr)
}

trace probe:do_sys_open%return fd=$retval {
print("exit:", execname, argstr)
}

7). uprobe tracing
trace probe:/lib/libc.so.6:malloc {
print("entry:", execname, argstr)
}

trace probe:/lib/libc.so.6:malloc%return {
print("exit:", execname, argstr)
}

8). stapsdt tracing (userspace static marker)
trace sdt:/lib64/libc.so.6:lll_futex_wake {
print("lll_futex_wake", execname, argstr)
}

or:

#trace all static mark in libc
trace sdt:/lib64/libc.so.6:* {
print(execname, argstr)
}

9). timer
tick-1ms {
printf("time fired on one cpu\n");
}

profile-2s {
printf("time fired on every cpu\n");
}

This patchset contains:

1. README and Tutorial
2. ktap kernel module and userspace binary
3. sample scripts
4. test suite

The code can be pull from:
http://github.com/ktap/linux.git upstream

The merit of putting this software in kernel tree is
to make it more possible to get feedback from users
and thus polish the code.

Thank you.
