Users may have explicitly configured their tracefs permissions; we
shouldn't overwrite those just because a second mount appeared.
Only clobber if the options were provided at mount time.
Note: the previous behavior was especially surprising in the presence of
automounted /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
Existing behavior:
## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x
## (Re)trigger the automount.
# umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
drwx------
## Unexpected: the automount changed mode for other mount instances.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwx------
New behavior (after this change):
## Pre-existing status: tracefs is 0755.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x
## (Re)trigger the automount.
# umount /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/.
drwxr-xr-x
## Expected: the automount does not change other mount instances.
# stat -c '%A' /sys/kernel/tracing/
drwxr-xr-x

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.
