Merge tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove eventfs_file descriptor

   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
   create its files dynamically.

   In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
   mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file
   inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories
   were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by
   a eventfs_file.

   In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
   directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc
   files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs
   directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback.

   When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of
   evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks
   to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so
   that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback
   then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create
   this file.

   This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
   instances down by 2 megs each!

 - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a
   single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even
   if no process is attached to them

 - Clean up of seq_buf

   There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and
   friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf
   to be able to do this

 - Expand instance ring buffers individually

   Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
   enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
   top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
   memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance

 - Other minor clean ups and fixes
