Linus Torvalds 3ebb6fb03d Various fixes to the tracing infrastructure:
- Fix double free when the reg() call fails in event_trigger_callback()
 
  - Fix anomoly of snapshot causing tracing_on flag to change
 
  - Add selftest to test snapshot and tracing_on affecting each other
 
  - Fix setting of tracepoint flag on error that prevents probes from
    being deleted.
 
  - Fix another possible double free that is similar to event_trigger_callback()
 
  - Quiet a gcc warning of a false positive unused variable
 
  - Fix crash of partial exposed task->comm to trace events

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
