Merge tag 'trace-v3.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are:

   o Several clean ups to the code

     One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the
     ring buffer benchmark code.

   o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()

   o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways
     to make trace events.  Lots of features have been added since the
     sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown.
     Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are
     already available.

   o Performance improvements.  Most notably, I found a performance bug
     where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer
     will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep.  The
     sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up
     again.  It would see that there was still not a full page, and go
     back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally
     it would see a full page.  This change has been marked for stable.

  Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths"
