Linus Torvalds 1fe5501ba1 tracing: Fix tp_printk command line and trace events
Masami added a wrapper to be able to unhash trace event pointers
 as they are only read by root anyway, and they can also be extracted
 by the raw trace data buffers. But this wrapper utilized the iterator
 to have a temporary buffer to manipulate the text with.
 
 tp_printk is a kernel command line option that will send the trace
 output of a trace event to the console on boot up (useful when the
 system crashes before finishing the boot). But the code used the same
 wrapper that Masami added, and its iterator did not have a buffer,
 and this caused the system to crash.
 
 Have the wrapper just print the trace event normally if the iterator
 has no temporary buffer.

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.
