Steven Rostedt 2bcd521a68 trace: profile all if conditionals
Impact: feature to profile if statements

This patch adds a branch profiler for all if () statements.
The results will be found in:

  /debugfs/tracing/profile_branch

For example:

   miss      hit    %        Function                  File              Line
 ------- ---------  -        --------                  ----              ----
       0        1 100 x86_64_start_reservations      head64.c             127
       0        1 100 copy_bootdata                  head64.c             69
       1        0   0 x86_64_start_kernel            head64.c             111
      32        0   0 set_intr_gate                  desc.h               319
       1        0   0 reserve_ebda_region            head.c               51
       1        0   0 reserve_ebda_region            head.c               47
       0        1 100 reserve_ebda_region            head.c               42
       0        0   X maxcpus                        main.c               165

Miss means the branch was not taken. Hit means the branch was taken.
The percent is the percentage the branch was taken.

This adds a significant amount of overhead and should only be used
by those analyzing their system.
