Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice,
which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice
limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy.
A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer
directly.
The mapping exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first page
is the meta-page and is followed by each page of the ring-buffer,
ordered by their unique page ID. It is therefore easy to translate a
page-ID to an offset in the mapping.
* Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description
* Page ID 0
* Page ID 1
...
The mapper must then do what use to be the kernel job: swap the reader
with the head. This is done with a newly introduced ioctl:
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER_PAGE.
