Linus Torvalds 4f9e7fabf8 Tracing fixes for 6.5:
- Fix ring buffer being permanently disabled due to missed record_disabled()
   Changing the trace cpu mask will disable the ring buffers for the CPUs no
   longer in the mask. But it fails to update the snapshot buffer. If a snapshot
   takes place, the accounting for the ring buffer being disabled is corrupted
   and this can lead to the ring buffer being permanently disabled.
 
 - Add test case for snapshot and cpu mask working together
 
 - Fix memleak by the function graph tracer not getting closed properly.
   The iterator is used to read the ring buffer. When it opens, it calls
   the open function of a tracer, and when it is closed, it calls the close
   iteration. While a trace is being read, it is still possible to change
   the tracer. If this happens between the function graph tracer and the
   wakeup tracer (which uses function graph tracing), the tracers are not
   closed properly during when the iterator sees the switch, and the wakeup
   function did not initialize its private pointer to NULL, which is used
   to know if the function graph tracer was the last tracer. It could be
   fooled in thinking it is, but then on exit it does not call the close
   function of the function graph tracer to clean up its data.
 
 - Fix synthetic events on big endian machines, by introducing a union
   that does the conversions properly.
 
 - Fix synthetic events from printing out the number of elements in the
   stacktrace when it shouldn't.
 
 - Fix synthetic events stacktrace to not print a bogus value at the end.
 
 - Introduce a pipe_cpumask that prevents the trace_pipe files from being
   opened by more than one task (file descriptor). There was a race found
   where if splice is called, the iter->ent could become stale and events
   could be missed. There's no point reading a producer/consumer file by
   more than one task as they will corrupt each other anyway. Add a cpumask
   that keeps track of the per_cpu trace_pipe files as well as the global
   trace_pipe file that prevents more than one open of a trace_pipe file
   that represents the same ring buffer. This prevents the race from
   happening.
 
 - Fix ftrace samples for arm64 to work with older compilers.
