Major changes:
- Changed location of tracing repo from personal git repo to:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace.git
- Added Masami Hiramatsu as co-maintainer
- Updated MAINTAINERS file to separate out FTRACE as it is
more than just TRACING.
Minor changes:
- Added Mark Rutland as FTRACE reviewer
- Updated user_events to make it on its way to remove the BROKEN tag.
The changes should now be acceptable but will run it through
a cycle and hopefully we can remove the BROKEN tag next release.
- Added filtering to eprobes
- Added a delta time to the benchmark trace event
- Have the histogram and filter callbacks called via a switch
statement instead of indirect functions. This speeds it up to
avoid retpolines.
- Add a way to wake up ring buffer waiters waiting for the
ring buffer to fill up to its watermark.
- New ioctl() on the trace_pipe_raw file to wake up ring buffer
waiters.
- Wake up waiters when the ring buffer is disabled.
A reader may block when the ring buffer is disabled,
but if it was blocked when the ring buffer is disabled
it should then wake up.
Fixes:
- Allow splice to read partially read ring buffer pages
Fixes splice never moving forward.
- Fix inverted compare that made the "shortest" ring buffer
wait queue actually the longest.
- Fix a race in the ring buffer between resetting a page when
a writer goes to another page, and the reader.
- Fix ftrace accounting bug when function hooks are added at
boot up before the weak functions are set to "disabled".
- Fix bug that freed a user allocated snapshot buffer when
enabling a tracer.
- Fix possible recursive locks in osnoise tracer
- Fix recursive locking direct functions
- And other minor clean ups and fixes

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 Restructured Text 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.
