ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentation
If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace" attribute. The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function happens to be registered. [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar, so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ] Update: It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function. If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop through the functions to call.
