Linus Torvalds 4a621e2910 A couple of fixes for tracing:
- Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in the error path of RTLA tool
 
 - Fix an infinite loop bug when reading from the ring buffer when closed.
   If there's a thread trying to read the ring buffer and it gets closed
   by another thread, the one reading will go into an infinite loop
   when the buffer is empty instead of exiting back to user space.

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.
