Merge tag 'trace-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Addition of multiprobes to kprobe and uprobe events (allows for more than one probe attached to the same location) - Addition of adding immediates to probe parameters - Clean up of the recordmcount.c code. This brings us closer to merging recordmcount into objtool, and reuse code. - Other small clean ups * tag 'trace-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (33 commits) selftests/ftrace: Update kprobe event error testcase tracing/probe: Reject exactly same probe event tracing/probe: Fix to allow user to enable events on unloaded modules selftests/ftrace: Select an existing function in kprobe_eventname test tracing/kprobe: Fix NULL pointer access in trace_porbe_unlink() tracing: Make sure variable reference alias has correct var_ref_idx tracing: Be more clever when dumping hex in __print_hex() ftrace: Simplify ftrace hash lookup code in clear_func_from_hash() tracing: Add "gfp_t" support in synthetic_events tracing: Rename tracing_reset() to tracing_reset_cpu() tracing: Document the stack trace algorithm in the comments tracing/arm64: Have max stack tracer handle the case of return address after data recordmcount: Clarify what cleanup() does recordmcount: Remove redundant cleanup() calls recordmcount: Kernel style formatting recordmcount: Kernel style function signature formatting recordmcount: Rewrite error/success handling selftests/ftrace: Add syntax error test for multiprobe selftests/ftrace: Add syntax error test for immediates selftests/ftrace: Add a testcase for kprobe multiprobe event ...
