Linus Torvalds 31eb415bf6 ftrace changes for v6.15:
- Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers
 
   An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the function
   graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers will record the
   registers that hold the arguments into each function event. On reading of
   the trace, it will use BTF to print those arguments. Most archs support up
   to 6 arguments (depending on the complexity of the arguments) and those
   are printed. If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the
   output will end with " ... )".
 
     Example of function graph tracer:
 
     6)              | dummy_xmit [dummy](skb = 0x8887c100, dev = 0x872ca000) {
     6)              |   consume_skb(skb = 0x8887c100) {
     6)              |     skb_release_head_state(skb = 0x8887c100) {
     6)  0.178 us    |       sock_wfree(skb = 0x8887c100)
     6)  0.627 us    |     }
 
 - The rest of the changes are minor clean ups and fixes

 - Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers

   An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the
   function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers
   will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function
   event. On reading of the trace, it will use BTF to print those
   arguments. Most archs support up to 6 arguments (depending on the
   complexity of the arguments) and those are printed.

   If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the output
   will end with " ... )".

   Example of function graph tracer:

	6)              | dummy_xmit [dummy](skb = 0x8887c100, dev = 0x872ca000) {
	6)              |   consume_skb(skb = 0x8887c100) {
	6)              |     skb_release_head_state(skb = 0x8887c100) {
	6)  0.178 us    |       sock_wfree(skb = 0x8887c100)
	6)  0.627 us    |     }

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 reStructuredText 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.
