In order to allow information to be passed between trace events, add support for per-element variables to tracing_map. This provides a means for histograms to associate a value or values with an entry when it's saved or updated, and retrieved by a subsequent event occurrences. Variables can be set using tracing_map_set_var() and read using tracing_map_read_var(). tracing_map_var_set() returns true or false depending on whether or not the variable has been set or not, which is important for event-matching applications. tracing_map_read_var_once() reads the variable and resets it to the 'unset' state, implementing read-once variables, which are also important for event-matching uses.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
