Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "No new features this release. Mostly clean ups, restructuring and documentation. - Have ftrace_bug() show ftrace errors before the WARN, as the WARN will reboot the box before the error messages are printed if panic_on_warn is set. - Have traceoff_on_warn disable tracing sooner (before prints) - Write a message to the trace buffer that its being disabled when disable_trace_on_warning() is set. - Separate out synthetic events from histogram code to let it be used by other parts of the kernel. - More documentation on histogram design. - Other small fixes and clean ups" * tag 'trace-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Remove obsolete PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS kconfig option tracing/doc: Fix ascii-art in histogram-design.rst tracing: Add a trace print when traceoff_on_warning is triggered ftrace,bug: Improve traceoff_on_warn selftests/ftrace: Distinguish between hist and synthetic event checks tracing: Move synthetic events to a separate file tracing: Fix events.rst section numbering tracing/doc: Fix typos in histogram-design.rst tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging tracing: Add histogram-design document tracing: Check state.disabled in synth event trace functions tracing/probe: reverse arguments to list_add tools/bootconfig: Add a summary of test cases and return error ftrace: show debugging information when panic_on_warn set

Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation

2020-06-08T15:30:19Z

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

tracing/doc: Fix ascii-art in histogram-design.rst

2020-06-03T23:38:13Z

This fixes the Sphinx parallel build error when building htmldocs: docutils.utils.SystemMessage: /home/sfr/next/next/Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst:219: (SEVERE/4) Unexpected section title. It also fixes a bunch of other warnings I noticed when fixing the above, caused by mixing ascii-art and text.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I *really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile, those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references around the tree; there should be no actual code changes there.

tracing: Add histogram-design document

2020-06-01T12:22:04Z

Add a new Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst file describing the ftrace histogram low-level design, meant to help developers trying to understand the internals when extending or making use of the hist triggers for higher-level tools. This documentation refers to the hist_debug files implemented by 'tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging' so users wishing to try out the test examples here should make sure CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled.
