    Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries
    
    Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary
    reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries
    can't export their formats.
    
    This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory
    that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items.
    
    These only have three files in the events directory:
    
     type             : printf
     available_types  : printf
     format           : format for the event entry
    
    For example:
    
     # cat /debug/tracing/events/ftrace/wakeup/format
    name: wakeup
    ID: 3
    format:
            field:unsigned char type;       offset:0;       size:1;
            field:unsigned char flags;      offset:1;       size:1;
            field:unsigned char preempt_count;      offset:2;       size:1;
            field:int pid;  offset:4;       size:4;
            field:int tgid; offset:8;       size:4;
    
            field:unsigned int prev_pid;    offset:12;      size:4;
            field:unsigned char prev_prio;  offset:16;      size:1;
            field:unsigned char prev_state; offset:17;      size:1;
            field:unsigned int next_pid;    offset:20;      size:4;
            field:unsigned char next_prio;  offset:24;      size:1;
            field:unsigned char next_state; offset:25;      size:1;
            field:unsigned int next_cpu;    offset:28;      size:4;
    
    print fmt: "%u:%u:%u  ==+ %u:%u:%u [%03u]"
