Linus Torvalds a2ded784cd tracing updates for 6.8:
- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created
   Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can
   use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the
   thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify
   what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed
   to this instance.
 
 - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the
   architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb"
   is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be
   in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer
   size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in
   kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that
   it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the
   size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that
   can hold 10K pages.
 
 - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer.
   If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config
   options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that
   is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps
   with debugging.
 
 - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled)
 
 - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
 
 - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under
   2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
 
 - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold.
 
 - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been
   removed.
 
 - More selftests were added.
 
 - Some code clean ups as well.

 - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are
   created

   Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it
   can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care
   about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the
   sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and
   only those events are exposed to this instance.

 - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than
   just the architecture page size.

   A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
   user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
   kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
   sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
   only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
   the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in
   10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is
   the next available size that can hold 10K pages.

 - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring
   buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a
   debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of
   the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information
   to this dump that helps with debugging.
