- Fix memory leak by reverting what was thought to be a double free.
A static tool had gave a false positive that a double free was
possible in the error path, but it was actually a different location
that confused the static analyzer (and those of us that reviewed it).
- Move use of static buffers by ftrace_dump() to a location that can
be used by kgdb's ftdump(), as it needs it for the same reasons.
- Clarify in the Kconfig description that function tracing has negligible
impact on x86, but may have a bit bigger impact on other architectures.
- Remove unnecessary extra semicolon in trace event.
- Make a local variable static that is used in the fprobes sample
- Use KSYM_NAME_LEN for length of function in kprobe sample and get
rid of unneeded macro for the same purpose.

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.
