Linux kernel source tree
917110481f
The process_pointer() helper function looks to see if various trace event
macros are used. These macros are for storing data in the event. This
makes it safe to dereference as the dereference will then point into the
event on the ring buffer where the content of the data stays with the
event itself.
A few helper functions were missing. Those were:
__get_rel_dynamic_array()
__get_dynamic_array_len()
__get_rel_dynamic_array_len()
__get_rel_sockaddr()
Also add a helper function find_print_string() to not need to use a middle
man variable to test if the string exists.

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.
