Linus Torvalds e919a3f705 Minor tracing updates:
- Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can
   state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much
   is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the
   task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.
   This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux,
   but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having
   CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.
 
 - The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the
   reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions
   were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to
   it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function
   to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions
   in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can
   be used for debugging. TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too.

 - Make buffer_percent read/write.

   The buffer_percent file is how users can state how long to block on
   the tracing buffer depending on how much is in the buffer. When it
   hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the task waiting on the
   buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.

   This was not noticed because testing was done as root without
   SELinux, but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it
   without having CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.

   patching that can "hijack" the function to run a different function.
