Lingutla Chandrasekhar f4bf3ca2e5 softirq: Add trace points for tasklet entry/exit
Tasklets are supposed to finish their work quickly and should not block the
current running process, but it is not guaranteed that they do so.

Currently softirq_entry/exit can be used to analyse the total tasklets
execution time, but that's not helpful to track individual tasklets
execution time. That makes it hard to identify tasklet functions, which
take more time than expected.

Add tasklet_entry/exit trace point support to track individual tasklet
execution.

Trivial usage example:
   # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_entry/enable
   # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/irq/tasklet_exit/enable
   # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
 # tracer: nop
 #

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
