Mike Frysinger bc5c6c043d ftrace/documentation: fix typo in function grapher name
The function graph tracer is called just "function_graph" (no trailing
"_tracer" needed).

GeunSik Lim 294ae40115 ftrace: fix typo about map of kernel priority in ftrace.txt file.
Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities.

   * About sched_setscheduler(2)
      Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR
      can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99.
      (reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/
                  man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html)

   * From: Steven Rostedt
      0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO)

      99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks
      but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any
      kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be
      set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow
      for it.

      100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via
      sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call.

      140 - reserved for idle tasks.

Li Zefan 143c145e3a tracing/events: Documentation updates
- fix some typos
- document the difference between '>' and '>>'
- document the 'enable' toggle
- remove section "Defining an event-enabled tracepoint", since it's
  out-dated and sample/trace_events/ already serves this purpose.

v2: add "Updated by Li Zefan"

[ Impact: make documentation up-to-date ]

Li Zefan 66bb74888e tracing: consolidate documents
Move kmemtrace.txt, tracepoints.txt, ftrace.txt and mmiotrace.txt to
the new trace/ directory.

I didnt find any references to those documents in both source
files and documents, so no extra work needs to be done.
