Merge tag 'trace-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New feature: - A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory. When set the function tracer will detect if the current function being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the function is repeated in a row. And when another function is recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of when the last repeated function occurred. Enhancements: - In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no longer needs to waste ring buffer space. - New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise. Fixes: - No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for "saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than 32768. - Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock. Clean ups: - Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code. - Better management of ftrace_page allocations" * tag 'trace-v5.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (32 commits) tracing: Restructure trace_clock_global() to never block tracing: Map all PIDs to command lines ftrace: Reuse the output of the function tracer for func_repeats tracing: Add "func_no_repeats" option for function tracing tracing: Unify the logic for function tracing options tracing: Add method for recording "func_repeats" events tracing: Add "last_func_repeats" to struct trace_array tracing: Define new ftrace event "func_repeats" tracing: Define static void trace_print_time() ftrace: Simplify the calculation of page number for ftrace_page->records some more ftrace: Store the order of pages allocated in ftrace_page tracing: Remove unused argument from "ring_buffer_time_stamp() tracing: Remove duplicate struct declaration in trace_events.h tracing: Update create_system_filter() kernel-doc comment tracing: A minor cleanup for create_system_filter() kernel: trace: Mundane typo fixes in the file trace_events_filter.c tracing: Fix various typos in comments scripts/recordmcount.pl: Make vim and emacs indent the same scripts/recordmcount.pl: Make indent spacing consistent tracing: Add a verifier to check string pointers for trace events ...
