Merge tag 'trace-v5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer

 - Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs

 - New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts,
   softirqs and scheduling of other tasks.

 - Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail
   what sources of latency it has for wake ups.

 - Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has
   been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it
   now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try
   to remove it again in the future.

 - tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids.

 - New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes
   trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can
   easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after
   boot up is useful to prevent that from happening.

 - Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that
   match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.

 - Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements.

 - New ktest script that tests bootconfig options.

 - Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint
   without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path
   from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a
   bug.

 - Small clean ups and fixes
