- Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state when some functions succeed and others fail. - Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor There was a race between accesses and freeing it. - Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings by dynamically creating files. That is, If a event file is opened for an instance, there's nothing preventing the instance from being removed which will make accessing the files cause use-after-free bugs. - Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring buffer while writers are active. Check to make sure not to read the event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer. - Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it was looking for the event dir field being filled, but now it has the "ef" field filled for the eventfs structure. - Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure. - Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for the offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess. - Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec() If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error. - Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed. - Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64 that represented several types was turned into a union to define the types properly. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZQCvoBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qtgrAP9MiYiCMU+90oJ+61DFchbs3y7BNidP s3lLRDUMJ935NQD/SSAm54PqWb+YXMpD7m9+3781l6xqwfabBMXNaEl+FwA= =tlZu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state when some functions succeed and others fail. - Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor There was a race between accesses and freeing it. - Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings by dynamically creating files.

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.
