- Fix some missing-prototype warnings - Fix user events struct args (did not include size of struct) When creating a user event, the "struct" keyword is to denote that the size of the field will be passed in. But the parsing failed to handle this case. - Add selftest to struct sizes for user events - Fix sample code for direct trampolines. The sample code for direct trampolines attached to handle_mm_fault(). But the prototype changed and the direct trampoline sample code was not updated. Direct trampolines needs to have the arguments correct otherwise it can fail or crash the system. - Remove unused ftrace_regs_caller_ret() prototype. - Quiet false positive of FORTIFY_SOURCE Due to backward compatibility, the structure used to save stack traces in the kernel had a fixed size of 8. This structure is exported to user space via the tracing format file. A change was made to allow more than 8 functions to be recorded, and user space now uses the size field to know how many functions are actually in the stack. But the structure still has size of 8 (even though it points into the ring buffer that has the required amount allocated to hold a full stack. This was fine until the fortifier noticed that the memcpy(&entry->caller, stack, size) was greater than the 8 functions and would complain at runtime about it. Hide this by using a pointer to the stack location on the ring buffer instead of using the address of the entry structure caller field. - Fix a deadloop in reading trace_pipe that was caused by a mismatch between ring_buffer_empty() returning false which then asked to read the data, but the read code uses rb_num_of_entries() that returned zero, and causing a infinite "retry". - Fix a warning caused by not using all pages allocated to store ftrace functions, where this can happen if the linker inserts a bunch of "NULL" entries, causing the accounting of how many pages needed to be off. - Fix histogram synthetic event crashing when the start event is removed and the end event is still using a variable from it. - Fix memory leak in freeing iter->temp in tracing_release_pipe() -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZLBF6hQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qkswAP4mhdoFFfNosM7+Sh/R4t31IxKZApm9 M2Hf9jgvJ7b65AD/VV1XfO6skw2+5Yn9S4UyNE2MQaYxPwWpONcNFUzZ3Q8= =Nb+7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.5-rc1-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix some missing-prototype warnings - Fix user events struct args (did not include size of struct) When creating a user event, the "struct" keyword is to denote that the size of the field will be passed in.

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.
