tracing: Add function probe to trigger stack traces
Add a function probe that will cause a stack trace to be traced in
the ring buffer when the given function(s) are called.
format is:
 <function>:stacktrace[:<count>]
 echo 'schedule:stacktrace' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe
     kworker/2:0-4329  [002] ...2  2933.558007: <stack trace>
 => kthread
 => ret_from_fork
          <idle>-0     [000] .N.2  2933.558019: <stack trace>
 => rest_init
 => start_kernel
 => x86_64_start_reservations
 => x86_64_start_kernel
     kworker/2:0-4329  [002] ...2  2933.558109: <stack trace>
 => kthread
 => ret_from_fork
[...]
This can be set to only trace a specific amount of times:
 echo 'schedule:stacktrace:3' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe
           <...>-58    [003] ...2   841.801694: <stack trace>
 => kthread
 => ret_from_fork
          <idle>-0     [001] .N.2   841.801697: <stack trace>
 => start_secondary
           <...>-2059  [001] ...2   841.801736: <stack trace>
 => wait_for_common
 => wait_for_completion
 => flush_work
 => tty_flush_to_ldisc
 => input_available_p
 => n_tty_poll
 => tty_poll
 => do_select
 => core_sys_select
 => sys_select
 => system_call_fastpath
To remove these:
 echo '!schedule:stacktrace' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
 echo '!schedule:stacktrace:0' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
