- Fix polling to block on watermark like the reads do, as user space applications get confused when the select says read is available, and then the read blocks. - Fix accounting of ring buffer dropped pages as it is what is used to determine if the buffer is empty or not. - Fix memory leak in tracing_read_pipe() - Fix struct trace_array warning about being declared in parameters - Fix accounting of ftrace pages used in output at start up. - Fix allocation of dyn_ftrace pages by subtracting one from order instead of diving it by 2 - Static analyzer found a case were a pointer being used outside of a NULL check. (rb_head_page_deactivate()) - Fix possible NULL pointer dereference if kstrdup() fails in ftrace_add_mod() - Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event() - Fix bad pointer dereference in register_synth_event() on error path. - Remove unused __bad_type_size() method - Fix possible NULL pointer dereference of entry in list 'tr->err_log' - Fix NULL pointer deference race if eprobe is called before the event setup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCY3qNNBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qiVzAP9vdtLkseOueVqPJ/Wc6v3z0xlkxO4L Aj9jOac822SPOQEAvUJ1DM1bxm/D2BY5AQsfgSGjdaVYP+I3kvETNgWspQI= =3ta3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.1-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix polling to block on watermark like the reads do, as user space applications get confused when the select says read is available, and then the read blocks - Fix accounting of ring buffer dropped pages as it is what is used to determine if the buffer is empty or not - Fix memory leak in tracing_read_pipe() - Fix struct trace_array warning about being declared in parameters - Fix accounting of ftrace pages used in output at start up. - Fix allocation of dyn_ftrace pages by subtracting one from order instead of diving it by 2 - Static analyzer found a case were a pointer being used outside of a NULL check (rb_head_page_deactivate()) - Fix possible NULL pointer dereference if kstrdup() fails in ftrace_add_mod() - Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event() - Fix bad pointer dereference in register_synth_event() on error path - Remove unused __bad_type_size() method - Fix possible NULL pointer dereference of entry in list 'tr->err_log' - Fix NULL pointer deference race if eprobe is called before the event setup * tag 'trace-v6.1-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before the event tracing: Fix potential null-pointer-access of entry in list 'tr->err_log' tracing: Remove unused __bad_type_size() method tracing: Fix wild-memory-access in register_synth_event() tracing: Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event() ftrace: Fix null pointer dereference in ftrace_add_mod() ring_buffer: Do not deactivate non-existant pages ftrace: Optimize the allocation for mcount entries ftrace: Fix the possible incorrect kernel message tracing: Fix warning on variable 'struct trace_array' tracing: Fix memory leak in tracing_read_pipe() ring-buffer: Include dropped pages in counting dirty patches tracing/ring-buffer: Have polling block on watermark
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.
