commit 01b2a52171735c6eea80ee2f355f32bea6c41418 upstream. If a process is waiting on the ring buffer for data, there currently isn't a clean way to force it to wake up. Add an ioctl call that will force any tasks that are waiting on the trace_pipe_raw file to wake up.

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.
