Merge tag 'trace-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused. He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately, these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs. - Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe SRCU API. - New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU. - Addition of mcount-nop option support - SPDX headers replacing GPL templates. - Various other fixes and clean ups. - Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before the merge window opened. * tag 'trace-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (44 commits) tracing: Fix SPDX format headers to use C++ style comments tracing: Add SPDX License format tags to tracing files tracing: Add SPDX License format to bpf_trace.c blktrace: Add SPDX License format header s390/ftrace: Add -mfentry and -mnop-mcount support tracing: Add -mcount-nop option support tracing: Avoid calling cc-option -mrecord-mcount for every Makefile tracing: Handle CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately Uprobe: Additional argument arch_uprobe to uprobe_write_opcode() Uprobes: Simplify uprobe_register() body tracepoints: Free early tracepoints after RCU is initialized uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched() tracing: Fix synchronizing to event changes with tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() ftrace: Remove unused pointer ftrace_swapper_pid tracing: More reverting of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage" tracing/irqsoff: Handle preempt_count for different configs tracing: Partial revert of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage" tracing: irqsoff: Account for additional preempt_disable trace: Use rcu_dereference_raw for hooks from trace-event subsystem tracing/kprobes: Fix within_notrace_func() to check only notrace functions ...
