Merge tag 'trace-v6.8-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix the #ifndef that didn't have the 'CONFIG_' prefix on
   HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS

   The fix to have dynamic trampolines work with x86 broke arm64 as the
   config used in the #ifdef was HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and not
   CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which removed the fix that the
   previous fix was to fix.

 - Fix tracing_on state

   The code to test if "tracing_on" is set incorrectly used
   ring_buffer_record_is_on() which returns false if the ring buffer
   isn't able to be written to.

   But the ring buffer disable has several bits that disable it. One is
   internal disabling which is used for resizing and other modifications
   of the ring buffer. But the "tracing_on" user space visible flag
   should only report if tracing is actually on and not internally
   disabled, as this can cause confusion as writing "1" when it is
   disabled will not enable it.

   Instead use ring_buffer_record_is_set_on() which shows the user space
   visible settings.

 - Fix a false positive kmemleak on saved cmdlines

   Now that the saved_cmdlines structure is allocated via alloc_page()
   and not via kmalloc() it has become invisible to kmemleak. The
   allocation done to one of its pointers was flagged as a dangling
   allocation leak. Make kmemleak aware of this allocation and free.

 - Fix synthetic event dynamic strings

   An update that cleaned up the synthetic event code removed the return
   value of trace_string(), and had it return zero instead of the
   length, causing dynamic strings in the synthetic event to always have
   zero size.

 - Clean up documentation and header files for seq_buf
