Linus Torvalds e1fd0b2acd Second set of tracing updates for 5.16:
- osnoise and timerlat updates that will work with the RTLA tool (Real-Time
   Linux Analysis). Specifically it disconnects the work load (threads
   that look for latency) from the tracing instances attached to them,
   allowing for more than one instance to retrieve data from the work load.
 
 - Optimization on division in the trace histogram trigger code to use shift
   and multiply when possible. Also added documentation.
 
 - Fix prototype to my_direct_func in direct ftrace trampoline sample code.

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.
