x86, bts, ftrace: a BTS ftrace plug-in prototype
Impact: add new ftrace plugin A prototype for a BTS ftrace plug-in. The tracer collects branch trace in a cyclic buffer for each cpu. The tracer is not configurable and the trace for each snapshot is appended when doing cat /debug/tracing/trace. This is a proof of concept that will be extended with future patches to become a (hopefully) useful tool.
