Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file. The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set. - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse. - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID. Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed to be traced. Tracing related features: - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file. If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end. - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman) And other minor updates and fixes" * tag 'trace-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (27 commits) tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic tracing: Add documentation on set_ftrace_notrace_pid and set_event_notrace_pid selftests/ftrace: Add test to test new set_event_notrace_pid file selftests/ftrace: Add test to test new set_ftrace_notrace_pid file tracing: Create set_event_notrace_pid to not trace tasks ftrace: Create set_ftrace_notrace_pid to not trace tasks ftrace: Make function trace pid filtering a bit more exact ftrace/kprobe: Show the maxactive number on kprobe_events tracing: Have the document reflect that the trace file keeps tracing enabled ring-buffer/tracing: Have iterator acknowledge dropped events tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the trace file ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there is an iterator ring-buffer: Make resize disable per cpu buffer instead of total buffer ring-buffer: Optimize rb_iter_head_event() ring-buffer: Do not die if rb_iter_peek() fails more than thrice ring-buffer: Have rb_iter_head_event() handle concurrent writer ring-buffer: Add page_stamp to iterator for synchronization ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_read() to read_buffer_iter_advance() ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_empty() not depend on tracing stopped tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry ...
