[ Upstream commit dfb6cd1e654315168e36d947471bd2a0ccd834ae ] Looking through old emails in my INBOX, I came across a patch from Luis Henriques that attempted to fix a race of two stat tracers registering the same stat trace (extremely unlikely, as this is done in the kernel, and probably doesn't even exist). The submitted patch wasn't quite right as it needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the same, it would have the same files). But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
