Merge tag 'trace-v6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers

   When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state
   when some functions succeed and others fail.

 - Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor

   There was a race between accesses and freeing it.

 - Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings
   by dynamically creating files. That is, If a event file is opened for
   an instance, there's nothing preventing the instance from being
   removed which will make accessing the files cause use-after-free
   bugs.

 - Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring
   buffer while writers are active. Check to make sure not to read the
   event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer.

 - Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it
   was looking for the event dir field being filled, but now it has the
   "ef" field filled for the eventfs structure.

 - Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure.

 - Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for
   the offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess.

 - Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec()

   If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the
   caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns
   the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not
   NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a
   good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the
   ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.

 - Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in
   dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but
   because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use
   SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.

 - Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing
   in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64
   that represented several types was turned into a union to define the
   types properly.
