Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to -&gt;proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer.  Adjust the
signature of ftrace_enable_sysctl to match ctl_table.proc_handler which
fixes the following sparse warning:

kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43:    expected void *
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43:    got void [noderef] __user *buffer

CFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;file&gt;.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.

Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.

Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.

The add/remove order works as follows:

 [1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally

 [2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
     current Makefile

 [3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
     current Makefile (New feature)

 [4] CFLAGS_&lt;file&gt; adds compiler flags per file.

 [5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;file&gt; removes compiler flags per file.

Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.

For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o

The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.

Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.

The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/
  arch/powerpc/xmon/
  arch/sh/
  kernel/trace/

However, lib/ has several sub-directories.

To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:

  lib/vdso/Makefile        - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
  lib/raid/test/Makefile   - This is not used for the kernel build

I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
   that interrupted other ring buffer events.

   Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
   event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all
   have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted.

   Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
   and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
   while interrupting another event.

 - Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
   default config, but then add options to override the default.

 - A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the
   ftrace PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to
   be backported.

 - Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
   that interrupted other ring buffer events.

   Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
   event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all
   have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted.

   Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
   and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
   while interrupting another event.

 - Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
   default config, but then add options to override the default.

   ftrace PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to
   be backported.

<title>tracing: Add trace_array_init_printk() to initialize instance trace_printk() buffers</title>

As trace_array_printk() used with not global instances will not add noise to
the main buffer, they are OK to have in the kernel (unlike trace_printk()).
This require the subsystem to create their own tracing instance, and the
trace_array_printk() only writes into those instances.

Add trace_array_init_printk() to initialize the trace_printk() buffers
without printing out the WARNING message.

Pull fsnotify updates from Jan Kara:

 - fanotify fix for softlockups when there are many queued events

 - performance improvement to reduce fsnotify overhead when not used

 - Amir's implementation of fanotify events with names. With these you
   can now efficiently monitor whole filesystem, eg to mirror changes to
   another machine.

  fanotify: compare fsid when merging name event
  fsnotify: create method handle_inode_event() in fsnotify_operations
  fanotify: report parent fid + child fid
  fanotify: report parent fid + name + child fid
  fanotify: add support for FAN_REPORT_NAME
  fanotify: report events with parent dir fid to sb/mount/non-dir marks
  fanotify: add basic support for FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID
  fsnotify: remove check that source dentry is positive
  fsnotify: send event with parent/name info to sb/mount/non-dir marks
  audit: do not set FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in audit marks mask
  inotify: do not set FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in non-dir mark mask
  fsnotify: pass dir and inode arguments to fsnotify()
  fsnotify: create helper fsnotify_inode()

  inotify: report both events on parent and child with single callback
  dnotify: report both events on parent and child with single callback
