Steven Rostedt (Google) 7a1d1e4b96 tracing/ring-buffer: Add last_boot_info file to boot instance
If an instance is mapped to memory on boot up, create a new file called
"last_boot_info" that will hold information that can be used to properly
parse the raw data in the ring buffer.

It will export the delta of the addresses for text and data from what it
was from the last boot. It does not expose actually addresses (unless you
knew what the actual address was from the last boot).

The output will look like:

 # cat last_boot_info
 text delta:	-268435456
 data delta:	-268435456

The text and data are kept separate in case they are ever made different.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
