x86, bts, ftrace: a BTS ftrace plug-in prototype
Impact: add new ftrace plugin
A prototype for a BTS ftrace plug-in.
The tracer collects branch trace in a cyclic buffer for each cpu.
The tracer is not configurable and the trace for each snapshot is
appended when doing cat /debug/tracing/trace.
This is a proof of concept that will be extended with future patches
to become a (hopefully) useful tool.
