Hi,

Here is the 3rd version of the series to improve the boot-time tracing to
support kretprobe and tracing_on option. Previous version is here:

 https://lkml.kernel.org/r/159894698993.1478826.2813843560314595660.stgit@devnote2

This version adds uprobe %return suffix support ([5/8]) and the testcases
([8/8]), and update kprobe %suffix support([4/8]) and the uprobe event
document([6/8]).

The combination of tracing_on and kretprobe allows us to trace events
while a specific function call period. For example, the below bootconfig
will make a function callgraph in the pci_proc_init() function at boot
time.

ftrace {
	tracing_on = 0  # off at start
	tracer = function_graph
	event.kprobes {
		start_event {
			probes = "pci_proc_init"
			actions = "traceon"
		}
		end_event {
			probes = "pci_proc_init%return"
			actions = "traceoff"
		}
	}
}

Here is the example output;

# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
