===========
perf script exposes the evsel_name to python scripts as part of the data
passed to the sample or tracepoint handler function, and it passes the id and
stream_id to the throttled/unthrottled handler functions. This makes matching
throttle events and samples difficult.
To make this possible, this change exposes the sample id and stream_id values
to the script.

commit 1df49ef9ee3179a213754a26cc64065e8aa24c0c
Author: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@chromium.org>

===========
The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
A few spots in the perf docs still refer to this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

===========
Considering that perf and its subcommands have so many parameters, the
documentation is always the first stop for perf beginners. Fixing some
spelling errors will relax the eyes of some readers a little bit.

The text ranging from "subsystem__event_name" to "raw_syscalls__sys_enter()"
is interpreted by asciidoc as a pair of unconstrained text formatting markers.
The result is that the manual page displayed this text as underlined,
and the HTML pages displayed this text as italicized. Escape the first
double-underscore to prevent this.

Add a brief introduction about fields to perf-script-python.txt.
It should help python script developers in easily finding what fields

Few shell command examples in perf-script-python.txt has few nitpicks
include:
- tools/perf/scripts/python directory listing command is unnecessarily
repeated.
- few examples contain additional information in command prompt
unnecessarily and inconsistently.
This commit fixes them to enhance readability of the document.

The tracepoints used by the workqueue-stats script no longer exist so
trying to run the script results in:
# perf script record workqueue-stats
invalid or unsupported event: 'workqueue:workqueue_creation'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
So remove the script until it can be reworked using the new workqueue
tracepoints.

Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Free the perf trace name space and rename the trace to 'script' which is a
better match for the scripting engine.
