Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Testing a new trace event format, I triggered a bug by doing: # modprobe trace-events-sample # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/enable # rmmod trace-events-sample This would cause an oops. The issue is that I added another trace event sample that reused a reg function of another trace event to create a thread to call the tracepoints. The problem was that the reg function couldn't handle nested calls (reg; reg; unreg; unreg;) and created two threads (instead of one) and only removed one on exit. This isn't a critical bug as the bug is only in sample code. But sample code should be free of known bugs to prevent others from copying it. This is why this is also marked for stable" * tag 'trace-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing/samples: Fix creation and deletion of simple_thread_fn creation
