Use Sphinx note:: directive for the introductory note at the beginning
of docs, instead of aligned-text paragraph that renders as definition
list.

8c716e87ea Documentation: trace: historgram-design: Separate sched_waking histogram section heading and the following diagram
Section heading for sched_waking histogram is shown as normal paragraph
instead due to codeblock marker for the following diagram being in the
same line as the section underline. Separate them.

f867a298ac Documentation: trace: histogram-design: Trim trailing vertices in diagram explanation text
Diagram explanation text is supposed to be interleaved commentary
between diagram parts that are spread out, but it outputs ugly in
htmldocs due to trailing vertices as if both the explanation and the
diagram are in the same literal code block.

Trim trailing vertices.

2abfcd293b docs: ftrace: always use canonical ftrace path
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

Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so
let's update them to avoid confusion.

daceabf1b4 tracing/doc: Fix ascii-art in histogram-design.rst
This fixes the Sphinx parallel build error when building htmldocs:

  docutils.utils.SystemMessage: /home/sfr/next/next/Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst:219: (SEVERE/4) Unexpected section title.

It also fixes a bunch of other warnings I noticed when fixing the
above, caused by mixing ascii-art and text.

16b585fe71 tracing: Add histogram-design document
Add a new Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst file describing the
ftrace histogram low-level design, meant to help developers trying to
understand the internals when extending or making use of the hist
triggers for higher-level tools.

This documentation refers to the hist_debug files implemented by
'tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging' so
users wishing to try out the test examples here should make sure
CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled.
