Merge tag 'trace-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "There was some breakage with the changes for jump labels in the 4.11 merge window: - powerpc broke as jump labels uses the two LSB bits as flags in initialization. A check was added to make sure that all jump label entries were 4 bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules. Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best solution. - Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions without brackets. - The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to hold the entries. - The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready before the merge window closed, but I wanted to let it sit in linux-next for a couple of days first" * tag 'trace-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter tracing: Add #undef to fix compile error jump_label: Add comment about initialization order for anonymous unions jump_label: Fix anonymous union initialization module: set __jump_table alignment to 8 ftrace/graph: Do not modify the EMPTY_HASH for the function_graph filter tracing: Fix code comment for ftrace_ops_get_func()
