Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a
default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the
syscall table) to asm/syscall.h. New arch ports don't have to waste
time copying & pasting this simple function.
The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.

Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.
The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
also available from perf probe.
ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
named rv in a probed function.

This patch adds a simple post-processing script for the
page-allocator-related trace events. It can be used to give an indication
of who the most allocator-intensive processes are and how often the zone
lock was taken during the tracing period. Example output looks like
Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown
details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate
under lock direct pagevec drain

khelper-12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Optionally, the output can include information on the parent or aggregate
based on process name instead of aggregating based on each pid. Example output
including parent information and stripped out the PID looks something like;
Process Pages Pages Pages Pages PCPU PCPU PCPU Fragment Fragment MigType Fragment Fragment Unknown
details allocd allocd freed freed pages drains refills Fallback Causing Changed Severe Moderate
under lock direct pagevec drain
gdm-3756 :: Xorg-3770 3796 2976 99 3813 3224 104 98 0 0 0 0 0 0

git-21447 :: editor-21448 4 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
This says that Xorg allocated 3796 pages and it's parent process is gdm
with a PID of 3756;
The postprocessor parses the text output of tracing. While there is a
binary format, the expectation is that the binary output can be readily
translated into text and post-processed offline. Obviously if the text
format changes, the parser will break but the regular expression parser is
fairly rudimentary so should be readily adjustable.

Disable newly created kprobe events by default, not to disturb
another user using ftrace. "Disturb" means when someone is using
ftrace and another user tries to use perf-tools, (in near
future) if he defines new kprobe event via perf-tools, then new
events will mess up the frace buffer. Fix this to allow proper
and transparent kprobes events concurrent usage between ftrace
users and perf users.

Add argument name assignment support and remove "alias" lines from format.
This allows user to assign unique name to each argument. For example,
$ echo p do_sys_open dfd=a0 filename=a1 flags=a2 mode=a3 > kprobe_events
This assigns dfd, filename, flags, and mode to 1st - 4th arguments
respectively. Trace buffer shows those names too.
<...>-1439 [000] 1200885.933147: do_sys_open+0x0/0xdf: dfd=ffffff9c filename=bfa898ac flags=8000 mode=0
This helps users to know what each value means.
Users can filter each events by these names too. Note that you can not
filter by argN anymore.

The latency_trace file got removed a while back by commit
886b5b73d7 and has been replaced
by the latency-format option.
This patch fixes the documentation by reflecting this change.
Changes since v1:
- mention that the trace format is configurable through the
latency-format option
- Fix a couple mistakes related to the timestamps

Generate names for each kprobe event based on the probe point.
(SYMBOL+offs or MEMADDR).
Also remove generic k*probe event types because there is no user
of those types.
