Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing: Allow user-space mapping of the ring-buffer

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 jobs: swap the reader
with the head. This is done with a newly introduced ioctl:
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER_PAGE.

Entries, pages_touched and overrun fields are automatically updated by
the writer. Only readers keep the head page field updated. An additional
ioctl TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_UPDATE_META_PAGE allows to query that update,
enabling non-consuming read from userspace.
