- Fix ring buffer being permanently disabled due to missed record_disabled() Changing the trace cpu mask will disable the ring buffers for the CPUs no longer in the mask. But it fails to update the snapshot buffer. If a snapshot takes place, the accounting for the ring buffer being disabled is corrupted and this can lead to the ring buffer being permanently disabled. - Add test case for snapshot and cpu mask working together - Fix memleak by the function graph tracer not getting closed properly. The iterator is used to read the ring buffer. When it opens, it calls the open function of a tracer, and when it is closed, it calls the close iteration. While a trace is being read, it is still possible to change the tracer. If this happens between the function graph tracer and the wakeup tracer (which uses function graph tracing), the tracers are not closed properly during when the iterator sees the switch, and the wakeup function did not initialize its private pointer to NULL, which is used to know if the function graph tracer was the last tracer. It could be fooled in thinking it is, but then on exit it does not call the close function of the function graph tracer to clean up its data. - Fix synthetic events on big endian machines, by introducing a union that does the conversions properly. - Fix synthetic events from printing out the number of elements in the stacktrace when it shouldn't. - Fix synthetic events stacktrace to not print a bogus value at the end. - Introduce a pipe_cpumask that prevents the trace_pipe files from being opened by more than one task (file descriptor). There was a race found where if splice is called, the iter->ent could become stale and events could be missed. There's no point reading a producer/consumer file by more than one task as they will corrupt each other anyway. Add a cpumask that keeps track of the per_cpu trace_pipe files as well as the global trace_pipe file that prevents more than one open of a trace_pipe file that represents the same ring buffer. This prevents the race from happening. - Fix ftrace samples for arm64 to work with older compilers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJIBAABCgAyFiEEXtmkj8VMCiLR0IBM68Js21pW3nMFAmTn7hsUHHJvc3RlZHRA Z29vZG1pcy5vcmcACgkQ68Js21pW3nOSVg/9HVFTUX52yqvT9YLv8b1QZYMo2I5n to1nSbF9UUYIAMqkyNHuXU2TBj1I77JVkbsPEFsjYTN97CzJ/Zc8jNa6p7HgVure 1xUuaCgtOFPDjU6OpTa6wFRt4usU1UM8Noc/ii0WDUGsA+RKBAKmGUsNmuDHx1Ae a3uJTLR4VHMeAkbtth/8f6RHBVocDVSYPQbKnC0PksGW1wg9e9PU2G6+o3069I1Q qbOZJqvGDpeaapjyG2LYrDwkVGOPSvUJuJNfcjcNcyKoHSqxZzBb+feY16NhWDm9 idpyHLE4qF1nvlh1SIpErFl8Bu5MG9CN8a+xrx3ufd6i1jO4bcHyRD9XmjG4p72+ zVshoS86DI4KCK9wHxJ/5/SU6XuL6JoNTP7NhmDIX83QCuZwgTOa8C2xzHKHu58F In13IhJqS5ob6Jy25a/bAy0CbdTl0cjQvMfXrrYK0ZWuEBWgBUDqwB/eKY6oq79D oTKmFNOZsuiLAhPywAoY5cAqQtftpy5Ul8o6ed3RAw3th0WC4EeXIk5eUu5g/ABI 1ZfnpeY5al/JROFGXWxyn964RRjoVpbC1M6NVTz33e7No+r2KSRlLb5ZEWZVVIcZ My96QiZXamBZ/EOR7x72yFWxXBSuACu9nvbSSZRnbEGujoKwDb89xtgWzSNuR/wi GexDcj6qWfODrfc= =CI9f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.5-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix ring buffer being permanently disabled due to missed record_disabled() Changing the trace cpu mask will disable the ring buffers for the CPUs no longer in the mask.

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.
