[PATCH v7 09/17] tracing: define a new __time_notrace annotation flag

[Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>]

From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>

Ftrace gets the timestamp via time relative functions, when enabling
function graph tracer, if we also trace these functions, the system will
go into recusion and then hang there. So, we must not trace them. and
there are two existing methods help this job.

The first one is annotating them with notrace, another method is
removing the -pg for the whole file which included them:

CFLAGS_REMOVE_ftrace.o = -pg

But there is a particular situation, that is some archs(i.e MIPS,
Microblaze) need to notrace the common time relative source code, we can
not simply annotate them with the above methods, but need to consider
the archs respectively. this patch does it!

This patch introduce a new annotation flag: __time_notrace, if your
platform need it, define it in your arch specific ftrace.h:

        #define __time_notrace notrace

if only function graph trace need it, wrap it:

        #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
         #define __time_notrace notrace
        #endif

otherwise, ignore it!
