Pull debugobjects fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single fix for debugobjects:

  The recent fix to ensure atomicity of lookup and allocation
  inadvertently broke the pool refill mechanism, so that debugobject
  OOMs now in certain situations. The reason is that the functions which
  got updated no longer invoke debug_objecs_init(), which is now the
  only place to care about refilling the tracking object pool.

  Restore the original behaviour by adding explicit refill opportunities
  to those places"

dump_user_range() is used to copy the user page to a coredump file, but if
a hardware memory error occurred during copy, which called from

Generally, the '-&gt;write_iter' of file ops will use copy_page_from_iter()

in both of them to handle #MC during source read, which stop coredump
processing and kill the task instead of kernel panic, but the source
address may not always a user address, so introduce a new copy_mc flag in
struct iov_iter{} to indicate that the iter could do a safe memory copy,
also introduce the helpers to set/cleck the flag, for now, it's only used
in coredump's dump_user_range(), but it could expand to any other
scenarios to fix the similar issue.

The recent fix to ensure atomicity of lookup and allocation inadvertently
broke the pool refill mechanism.

Prior to that change debug_objects_activate() and debug_objecs_assert_init()
invoked debug_objecs_init() to set up the tracking object for statically
initialized objects. That's not longer the case and debug_objecs_init() is
now the only place which does pool refills.

Depending on the number of statically initialized objects this can be
enough to actually deplete the pool, which was observed by Ido via a
debugobjects OOM warning.

Restore the old behaviour by adding explicit refill opportunities to
debug_objects_activate() and debug_objecs_assert_init().

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - User events are finally ready!

   After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally
   locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work
   with user space only tracing.

   This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but
   that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where
   the variable is that the application uses to know if something is
   listening to the trace.

   There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events,
   which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/
   directory, where it can be enabled.

   When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the
   application to start writing to the kernel.

   See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/

 - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
   direct trampolines.

   Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to
   the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their
   own trampoline for performance reasons.

 - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient
   than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that
   kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes
   will be exposed as dynamic events.

 - More updates to references to the obsolete path of
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.

 - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer
   line by line instead of all at once.

   There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump
   that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger
   than what printk() allowed as a single print.

   Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.

 - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions
   that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used
   for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a
   crash by a bpf program or live patching.

 - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields
   of the events. It's easier to read by humans.

 - Some minor fixes and clean ups.

   the variable is that the application uses to know if something is
   listening to the trace.

   There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events,
   which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/
   directory, where it can be enabled.

   When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the
   application to start writing to the kernel.

   See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/

 - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
   direct trampolines.

   Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to
   the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their
   own trampoline for performance reasons.

 - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient
   than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that
   kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes
   will be exposed as dynamic events.

 - More updates to references to the obsolete path of
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.

 - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer
   line by line instead of all at once.

   There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump
   that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger
   than what printk() allowed as a single print.

   Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.

 - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions
   that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used
   for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a
   crash by a bpf program or live patching.

 - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields
   of the events. It's easier to read by humans.

 - Some minor fixes and clean ups.
