Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.16-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Oleg Nesterov found and fixed a bug in the perf/ftrace/uprobes code
  where running:

    # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
    # echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
    # perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever

  kills the uprobe.  Along the way he found some other minor bugs and
  clean ups that he fixed up making it a total of 4 patches.

  Doing unrelated work, I found that the reading of the ftrace trace
  file disables all function tracer callbacks.  This was fine when
  ftrace was the only user, but now that it's used by perf and kprobes,
  this is a bug where reading trace can disable kprobes and perf.  A
  very unexpected side effect and should be fixed"
