Hengqi Chen 5a80bd075f block: introduce block_io_start/block_io_done tracepoints
Currently, several BCC ([0]) tools (biosnoop/biostacks/biotop) use
kprobes to blk_account_io_start/blk_account_io_done to implement
their functionalities. This is fragile because the target kernel
functions may be renamed ([1]) or inlined ([2]). So introduce two
new tracepoints for such use cases.

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 Restructured Text 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.
