Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Add ring_buffer memory mappings.

  The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with
  the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers
  and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer
  that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the
  swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory
  into other mediums (file system, network, etc).

  The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the
  kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space
  task itself.

  A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring
  buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader
  sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change
  which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer.

  The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the
  ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer
  that the writer will not write over.

  A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an
  example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to
  the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is
  disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be
  enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used
  for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being
  mapped.

  Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can
  not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped,
  snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots
  on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped"
