tracing: Add lock-free tracing_map
Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing. tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which is associated by the map to a given key. It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside of that context. The tracing_map implementation was inspired by lock-free map algorithms originated by Dr. Cliff Click: http://www.azulsystems.com/blog/cliff/2007-03-26-non-blocking-hashtable http://www.azulsystems.com/events/javaone_2007/2007_LockFreeHash.pdf Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b43d68d1add33582a396f553c8ef705a33a6a748.1449767187.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by:Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Tested-by:
