Merge tag 'trace-v4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This release has a few updates:
- STM can hook into the function tracer
- Function filtering now supports more advance glob matching
- Ftrace selftests updates and added tests
- Softirq tag in traces now show only softirqs
- ARM nop added to non traced locations at compile time
- New trace_marker_raw file that allows for binary input
- Optimizations to the ring buffer
- Removal of kmap in trace_marker
- Wakeup and irqsoff tracers now adhere to the set_graph_notrace file
- Other various fixes and clean ups"
* tag 'trace-v4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (42 commits)
selftests: ftrace: Shift down default message verbosity
kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for newer gcc
tracing/kprobes: Add a helper method to return number of probe hits
tracing/rb: Init the CPU mask on allocation
tracing: Use SOFTIRQ_OFFSET for softirq dectection for more accurate results
tracing/fgraph: Have wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore graph functions too
fgraph: Handle a case where a tracer ignores set_graph_notrace
tracing: Replace kmap with copy_from_user() in trace_marker writing
ftrace/x86_32: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it
tracing: Allow benchmark to be enabled at early_initcall()
tracing: Have system enable return error if one of the events fail
tracing: Do not start benchmark on boot up
tracing: Have the reg function allow to fail
ring-buffer: Force rb_end_commit() and rb_set_commit_to_write() inline
ring-buffer: Froce rb_update_write_stamp() to be inlined
ring-buffer: Force inline of hotpath helper functions
tracing: Make __buffer_unlock_commit() always_inline
tracing: Make tracepoint_printk a static_key
ring-buffer: Always inline rb_event_data()
