Steven Rostedt (VMware) b5b77be812 selftests: ftrace: Allow some tests to be run in a tracing instance
An tracing instance has several of the same capabilities as the top level
instance, but may be implemented slightly different. Instead of just writing
tests that duplicat the same test cases of the top level instance, allow a
test to be written for both the top level as well as for an instance.

If a test case can be run in both the top level as well as in an tracing
instance directory, then it should add a tag "# flags: instance" in the
header of the test file. Then after all tests have run, any test that has an
instance flag set, will run again within a tracing instance.

README

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.
