Linux kernel source tree

Currently the function tracer's options are saved via a global mask when
it should be per instance. Use the new infrastructure to define a
"default_flags" field in the tracer structure that is used for the top
level instance as well as new ones.
Currently the global mask causes confusion:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo function > instances/foo/current_tracer
# echo 1 > options/func-args
# echo function > current_tracer
# cat trace

The above shows that updating the "func-args" option at the top level
instance also updates the "func-args" option in the instance but because
the update is only done by the instance that gets changed (as it should),
it's confusing to see that the option is already set in the other instance.

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.
