b8170fad6e tracing: Fix events.rst section numbering
The in-kernel trace event API should have its own section, and the
duplicate section numbers need fixing as well.

8206de7d38 docs: trace: events.rst: convert some new stuff to ReST format
Some new chapters were added to the documentation. This caused
Sphinx to complain, as the literal blocks there are not properly
tagged as such. Also, a new note added there doesn't follow
the ReST format.

This fixes the following warnings:

ea272257cc docs: histogram.txt: convert it to ReST file format
Despite being mentioned at Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst as a
rst file, this file was still a text one, with several issues.

Convert it to ReST and add it to the trace index:
- Mark the document title as such;
- Identify and indent the literal blocks;
- Use the proper markups for table.

2a56bb596b New features:
- Tom Zanussi's extended histogram work
    This adds the synthetic events to have histograms from multiple event data
    Adds triggers "onmatch" and "onmax" to call the synthetic events
    Several updates to the histogram code from this
 
  - Allow way to nest ring buffer calls in the same context
 
  - Allow absolute time stamps in ring buffer
 
  - Rewrite of filter code parsing based on Al Viro's suggestions
 
  - Setting of trace_clock to global if TSC is unstable (on boot)
 
  - Better OOM handling when allocating large ring buffers
 
  - Added initcall tracepoints (consolidated initcall_debug code with them)
 
 And other various fixes and clean ups
