Implementation for tracing stub-based system calls. Due to the need for
specialized code handling (mainly passing in a pt_regs structure as one of
the arguments), some syscalls are called through a stub in assembly code.
We duplicate the stub cdode in dtrace_stubs_x86_64.S, but instead of calling
the actual syscall implementation code call our own syscall-specific handler,
which ensures that entry and return probes are called as enabled, and then
call the underlying implementation directly for handling the syscall.
Also removed debugging output that is no longer relevant (code cleanup).

Stacktrace dumping has been moved to the GPL-licensed dtrace_os.c because it
depends on a symbol that is exported as GPL-only. Functionality in dtrace_isa
that requires stacktrace dumping can now use dtrace_stacktrace().
The GPL-licensed dtrace_os.h C header file is now made available through the
/include/linux hierarchy, and it is included in dtrace.h.
Fixed a bug in dtrace_relocs.c where section names where copied into a memory
area that was 1 byte short, causing various unpleasant forms of behaviour.

Finish GPL/CDDL splitting work.
kernel/dtrace and all that it #includes is now GPLv2, with the aid of a new
systrace_os.h header containing the subset of systrace.h needed by the GPL shim.
Conversely, dtrace/ is entirely CDDL.
dtrace_ioctl.h is now an exported, header in include/linux/, to ease future
sharing by the userspace side. It is probably not copyrightable (as is essential
for interoperability and contains no creative elements), but if it has any license
at all it is GPLv2 like the other headers in that directory (many of which are
include them.)

Initial commit of DTrace.
Build via a simple 'make' if you're already running this kernel, or via 'make
KERNELDIR=/path/to/kernel/top/level' otherwise. Installed via 'make install'.
