Pull more tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix regression of waiting a long time on updating trace event filters When the faultable trace points were added, it needed task trace RCU synchronization. This was added to the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() function. The filter logic always called this function whenever it updated the trace event filters before freeing the old filters. This increased the time of "trace-cmd record" from taking 13 seconds to running over 2 minutes to complete. Move the freeing of the filters to call_rcu*() logic, which brings the time back down to 13 seconds. - Fix ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() error path lock protection The error path of the ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() released the mutex too early and allowed subsequent accesses to setting the subbuffer size to corrupt the data and cause a bug. By moving the mutex locking to the end of the error path, it prevents the reentrant access to the critical data and also allows the function to convert the taking of the mutex over to the guard() logic. - Remove unused power management clock events The clock events were added in 2010 for power management. In 2011 arm used them. In 2013 the code they were used in was removed. These events have been wasting memory since then. - Fix sparse warnings There was a few places that sparse warned about trace_events_filter.c where file->filter was referenced directly, but it is annotated with an __rcu tag. Use the helper functions and fix them up to use rcu_dereference() properly. * tag 'trace-v6.16-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Add rcu annotation around file->filter accesses tracing: PM: Remove unused clock events ring-buffer: Fix buffer locking in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() tracing: Fix regression of filter waiting a long time on RCU synchronization
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 reStructuredText 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.
