Merge tag 'trace-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing changes from Steven Rostedt: "The majority of the changes here are cleanups for the large changes that were added to 3.10, which includes several bug fixes that have been marked for stable. As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about. These include: New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called. The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function. Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing" * tag 'trace-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (34 commits) tracing: Make tracing_open_generic_{tr,tc}() static tracing: Remove ftrace() function tracing: Remove TRACE_EVENT_TYPE enum definition tracing: Make tracer_tracing_{off,on,is_on}() static tracing: Fix irqs-off tag display in syscall tracing uprobes: Fix return value in error handling path tracing: Fix race between deleting buffer and setting events tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to event handling tracing: Get trace_array ref counts when accessing trace files tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to handle instance refs better tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c tracing: Make trace_marker use the correct per-instance buffer ftrace: Do not run selftest if command line parameter is set tracing/kprobes: Don't pass addr=ip to perf_trace_buf_submit() tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracer tracing/kprobes: Turn trace_probe->files into list_head tracing: Fix disabling of soft disable tracing: Add missing syscall_metadata comment tracing: Simplify code for showing of soft disabled flag tracing/kprobes: Kill probe_enable_lock ...
