Linus Torvalds 9d6a414ad3 tracing fixes for v6.13:
- Fix trace histogram sort function cmp_entries_dup()
 
   The sort function cmp_entries_dup() returns either 1 or 0, and not
   -1 if parameter "a" is less than "b" by memcmp().
 
 - Fix archs that call trace_hardirqs_off() without RCU watching
 
   Both x86 and arm64 no longer call any tracepoints with RCU not
   watching. It was assumed that it was safe to get rid of
   trace_*_rcuidle() version of the tracepoint calls. This was needed
   to get rid of the SRCU protection and be able to implement features
   like faultable traceponits and add rust tracepoints.
 
   Unfortunately, there were a few architectures that still relied on
   that logic. There's only one file that has tracepoints that are
   called without RCU watching. Add macro logic around the tracepoints
   for architectures that do not have CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR defined
   will check if the code is in the idle path (the only place RCU isn't
   watching), and enable RCU around calling the tracepoint, but only
   do it if the tracepoint is enabled.

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 reStructuredText 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.
