Linus Torvalds 453f5db061 tracing fixes for v6.7-rc7:
- Fix readers that are blocked on the ring buffer when buffer_percent is
   100%. They are supposed to wake up when the buffer is full, but
   because the sub-buffer that the writer is on is never considered
   "dirty" in the calculation, dirty pages will never equal nr_pages.
   Add +1 to the dirty count in order to count for the sub-buffer that
   the writer is on.
 
 - When a reader is blocked on the "snapshot_raw" file, it is to be
   woken up when a snapshot is done and be able to read the snapshot
   buffer. But because the snapshot swaps the buffers (the main one
   with the snapshot one), and the snapshot reader is waiting on the
   old snapshot buffer, it was not woken up (because it is now on
   the main buffer after the swap). Worse yet, when it reads the buffer
   after a snapshot, it's not reading the snapshot buffer, it's reading
   the live active main buffer.
 
   Fix this by forcing a wakeup of all readers on the snapshot buffer when
   a new snapshot happens, and then update the buffer that the reader
   is reading to be back on the snapshot buffer.
 
 - Fix the modification of the direct_function hash. There was a race
   when new functions were added to the direct_function hash as when
   it moved function entries from the old hash to the new one, a direct
   function trace could be hit and not see its entry.
 
   This is fixed by allocating the new hash, copy all the old entries
   onto it as well as the new entries, and then use rcu_assign_pointer()
   to update the new direct_function hash with it.
 
   This also fixes a memory leak in that code.

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
