Merge tag 'trace-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Testing a new trace event format, I triggered a bug by doing:
# modprobe trace-events-sample
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/enable
# rmmod trace-events-sample
This would cause an oops. The issue is that I added another trace
event sample that reused a reg function of another trace event to
create a thread to call the tracepoints. The problem was that the reg
function couldn't handle nested calls (reg; reg; unreg; unreg;) and
created two threads (instead of one) and only removed one on exit.
This isn't a critical bug as the bug is only in sample code. But
sample code should be free of known bugs to prevent others from
copying it. This is why this is also marked for stable"
