Steven Rostedt ed926f9b35 ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to trace
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).

These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.

When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.

When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.
