Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The major changes in this tracing update includes:

   - Removal of non-DYNAMIC_FTRACE from 32bit x86

   - Removal of mcount support from x86

   - Emulating a call from int3 on x86_64, fixes live kernel patching

   - Consolidated Tracing Error logs file

  Minor updates:

   - Removal of klp_check_compiler_support()

   - kdb ftrace dumping output changes

   - Accessing and creating ftrace instances from inside the kernel

   - Clean up of #define if macro

+	 We keep the static function tracing (!DYNAMIC_FTRACE) around
+	 in order to test the non static function tracing in the
+	 generic code, as other architectures still use it. But we
