- Fix timerlat notification, as it was not triggering the
notify to users when a new max latency was hit.
- Do not trigger max latency if the tracing is off.
When tracing is off, the ring buffer is not updated, it
does not make sense to notify when there's a new max latency
detected by the tracer, as why that latency happened is not available.
The tracing logic still runs when the ring buffer is disabled, but
it should not be triggering notifications.
- Fix race on freeing the synthetic event "last_cmd" variable by
adding a mutex around it.
- Fix race between reader and writer of the ring buffer by adding
memory barriers. When the writer is still on the reader page
it must have its content visible on the buffer before it moves
the commit index that the reader uses to know how much content is
on the page.
- Make get_lock_parent_ip() always inlined, as it uses _THIS_IP_
and _RET_IP_, which gets broken if it is not inlined.
- Make __field(int, arr[5]) in a TRACE_EVENT() macro fail to build.
The field formats of trace events are calculated by using sizeof(type)
and other means by what is passed into the structure macros like
__field(). The __field() macro is only meant for atom types like
int, long, short, pointer, etc. It is not meant for arrays. But
the code will currently compile with arrays, but then the format
produced will be inaccurate, and user space parsing tools will break.
Two bugs have already been fixed, now add code that will make the
kernel fail to build if another trace event includes this buggy
field format.
- Fix boot up snapshot code:
Boot snapshots were triggering when not even asked for on the
kernel command line. This was caused by two bugs.
1) It would trigger a snapshot on any instance if one was created
from the kernel command line.
2) The error handling would only affect the top level instance.
So the fact that a snapshot was done on a instance that didn't
allocate a buffer triggered a warning written into the top level
buffer, and worse yet, disabled the top level buffer.
- Fix memory leak that was caused when an error was logged in a
trace buffer instance, and then the buffer instance was removed.
The allocated error log messages still need to be freed.

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.
