    tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit} · 51a763dd
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    Impact: new API
    
    These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
    the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.
    
    It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
    other trace options we may introduce in the future.
    
    With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
    in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
    facility.
