Merge tag 'trace-v6.5-rc1-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix some missing-prototype warnings

 - Fix user events struct args (did not include size of struct)

   When creating a user event, the "struct" keyword is to denote that
   the size of the field will be passed in. But the parsing failed to
   handle this case.

 - Add selftest to struct sizes for user events

 - Fix sample code for direct trampolines.

   The sample code for direct trampolines attached to handle_mm_fault().
   But the prototype changed and the direct trampoline sample code was
   not updated. Direct trampolines needs to have the arguments correct
   otherwise it can fail or crash the system.

 - Remove unused ftrace_regs_caller_ret() prototype.

 - Quiet false positive of FORTIFY_SOURCE

   Due to backward compatibility, the structure used to save stack
   traces in the kernel had a fixed size of 8. This structure is
   exported to user space via the tracing format file. A change was made
   to allow more than 8 functions to be recorded, and user space now
   uses the size field to know how many functions are actually in the
   stack.

   But the structure still has size of 8 (even though it points into the
   ring buffer that has the required amount allocated to hold a full
   stack.

   This was fine until the fortifier noticed that the
   memcpy(&entry->caller, stack, size) was greater than the 8 functions
   and would complain at runtime about it.

   Hide this by using a pointer to the stack location on the ring buffer
   instead of using the address of the entry structure caller field.

 - Fix a deadloop in reading trace_pipe that was caused by a mismatch
   between ring_buffer_empty() returning false which then asked to read
   the data, but the read code uses rb_num_of_entries() that returned
   zero, and causing a infinite "retry".

 - Fix a warning caused by not using all pages allocated to store ftrace
   functions, where this can happen if the linker inserts a bunch of
   "NULL" entries, causing the accounting of how many pages needed to be
   off.

 - Fix histogram synthetic event crashing when the start event is
   removed and the end event is still using a variable from it

 - Fix memory leak in freeing iter->temp in tracing_release_pipe()
