Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Nothing major this round.  Mostly small clean ups and fixes.

  Some visible changes:

   - A new flag was added to distinguish traces done in NMI context.

   - Preempt tracer now shows functions where preemption is disabled but
     interrupts are still enabled.

  Other notes:

   - Updates were done to function tracing to allow better performance
     with perf.

   - Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram
     feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be
     configured by simple user commands.  The feature itself was just
     finished, but needs a round in linux-next before being pulled.

     This only includes some infrastructure changes that will be needed"

Use the more common logging method with the eventual goal of removing
pr_warning altogether.

Miscellanea:

 - Realign arguments
 - Coalesce formats
 - Add missing space between a few coalesced formats

The latency tracer format has a nice column to indicate IRQ state, but
this is not able to tell us about NMI state.

When tracing perf interrupt handlers (which often run in NMI context)
it is very useful to see how the events nest.

If tracing contains data and the trace_pipe file is read with sendfile(),
then it can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and various BUG_ON within the
VM code.

There's a patch to fix this in the splice_to_pipe() code, but it's also a
good idea to not let that happen from trace_pipe either.

commit d39cdd2036a6 ("tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag

free the mutex when allocaing the tracer_flags gets fail.

When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered
a strange phenomemon, excute following steps:

echo nop &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 0 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

check dmesg:
[ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result

The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace
option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is.
but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback
from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags
and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is
setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter
what the the current_tracer is.

And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which
doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the
pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags
for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no
tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code.

And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as
it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.

<title>tracing: Fix stacktrace skip depth in trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs()</title>

<id>7717c6be699975f6733d278b13b7c4295d73caf6</id>

While cleaning the stacktrace code I unintentially changed the skip depth of
trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs() from 0 to 6. kprobes uses this function,
and with skipping 6 call backs, it can easily produce no stack.

Here's how I tested it:

 # echo 'p:ext4_sync_fs ext4_sync_fs ' &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 # echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/trace
            sync-2394  [005]   502.457060: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
            sync-2394  [005]   502.457063: kernel_stack:         &lt;stack trace&gt;
            sync-2394  [005]   502.457086: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
            sync-2394  [005]   502.457087: kernel_stack:         &lt;stack trace&gt;
            sync-2394  [005]   502.457091: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)

After putting back the skip stack to zero, we have:

            sync-2270  [000]   748.052693: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)

tracing_max_lat_fops is used only when TRACER_MAX_TRACE enabled, so also
swith the related code. The related warning with defconfig under x86_64:

Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on
CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac67cb ("tracing: Remove
ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after
initialization, nothing changes it.
ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it
disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other
tracer.

<title>tracing: Make tracing work when debugfs is not configured in</title>

Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not
configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and
directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually
mount tracefs.

We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not
configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV
if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create
automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older
tools.
