The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields(). Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros. If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

Create a new event_filter object, and move the pred-related members
out of the call and subsystem objects and into the filter object - the
details of the filter implementation don't need to be exposed in the
call and subsystem in any case, and it will also help make the new
parser implementation a little cleaner.

With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event
counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily
with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain
trace events.
This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow
searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if
over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical
kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number
of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only
one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events.
Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined
by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use.
This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to
2 bytes (65,536 events).
It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit.
[ Impact: allow more than 255 events ]

struct trace_entry->type is unsigned char, while trace event's id is
int type, thus for a event with id >= 256, it's entry->type is cast
to (id % 256), and then we can't see the trace output of this event.

Impact: allow modules to add TRACE_EVENTS on load
This patch adds the final hooks to allow modules to use the TRACE_EVENT
macro. A notifier and a data structure are used to link the TRACE_EVENTs
defined in the module to connect them with the ftrace event tracing system.
It also adds the necessary automated clean ups to the trace events when a
module is removed.

Impact: makes it possible to define events in modules
The events are created by reading down the section that they are linked
in by the macros. But this is not scalable to modules. This patch converts
the manipulations to use a global link list, and on boot up it adds
the items in the section to the list.
This change will allow modules to add their tracing events to the list as
well.
Note, this change alone does not permit modules to use the TRACE_EVENT macros,
but the change is needed for them to eventually do so.

In preparation to allowing trace events to happen in modules, we need
to move some of the local declarations in the kernel/trace directory
into include/linux.
This patch simply moves the declarations and performs no context changes.
