Merge tag 'trace-v5.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The biggest change for this release is in the histogram code:
- Add "onchange(var)" histogram handler that executes a action when
$var changes.
- Add new "snapshot()" action for histogram handlers, that causes a
snapshot of the ring buffer when triggered. ie.
onchange(var).snapshot() will trigger a snapshot if var changes.
- Add alternative for "trace()" action. Currently, to trigger a
synthetic event, the name of that event is used as the handler
name, which is inconsistent with the other actions.
onchange(var).synthetic(param) where it can now be
onchange(var).trace(synthetic, param). The older method will still
be allowed, as long as the synthetic events do not overlap with
other handler names.
- The histogram documentation at testcases were updated for the new
changes.
Outside of the histogram code, we have:
- Added a quicker way to enable set_ftrace_filter files, that will
make it much quicker to bisect tracing a function that shouldn't be
traced and crashes the kernel. (You can echo in numbers to
set_ftrace_filter, and it will select the corresponding function
that is in available_filter_functions).
- Some better displaying of the tracing data (and more information
was added).
The rest are small fixes and more clean ups to the code"
