osnoise/timerlat were built to run a single instance, and for this, a single variable is enough to store the current struct trace_array *tr with information about the tracing instance. This is done via the *osnoise_trace variable. A trace_array represents a trace instance. In preparation to support multiple instances, replace the *osnoise_trace variable with an RCU protected list of instances. The operations that refer to an instance now propagate to all elements of the list (all instances). Also, replace the osnoise_busy variable with a check if the list has elements (busy). No functional change is expected with this patch, i.e., only one instance is allowed yet.

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.
