Rusty Russell 4462344ee9 cpumask: convert kernel trace functions further
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users
slipped into kernel/trace.

Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started"
member becomes a cpumask_var_t.

Arjan van de Ven f3f47a6768 tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization
Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin

This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
that we have today.

An example way of using this is:

 mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
 echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
 echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
 sleep 1
 echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
 cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | perl scripts/trace/cstate.pl > out.svg
