tracing: Move all function tracing configs together 



The features that depend on the function tracer were spread out through the
tracing menu, pull them together as it is easier to manage.

	  This option will modify all the calls to function tracing

	  dynamically (will patch them out of the binary image and

	  replace them with a No-Op instruction) on boot up. During

	  compile time, a table is made of all the locations that ftrace

	  can function trace, and this table is linked into the kernel

	  image. When this is enabled, functions can be individually

	  enabled, and the functions not enabled will not affect

	  performance of the system.

	  This option enables the kernel function profiler. A file is created

	  When a 1 is echoed into this file profiling begins, and when a

	  zero is entered, profiling stops. A "functions" file is created in

	  the trace_stat directory; this file shows the list of functions that

	  have been hit and their counters.

	  This special tracer records the maximum stack footprint of the

	  kernel and displays it in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace.



	  This tracer works by hooking into every function call that the

	  kernel executes, and keeping a maximum stack depth value and

	  stack-trace saved.  If this is configured with DYNAMIC_FTRACE

	  then it will not have any overhead while the stack tracer

	  is disabled.



	  To enable the stack tracer on bootup, pass in 'stacktrace'

	  on the kernel command line.



	  The stack tracer can also be enabled or disabled via the

	  sysctl kernel.stack_tracer_enabled
