Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix mismatch section of adding early trace events.

  Fixes the issue of a mismatch section that was missed due to gcc
  inlining the offending function, while clang did not (and reported the
  issue)"

<content type='text'>
The commit 720dee53ad8d ("tracing/boot: Initialize per-instance event
list in early boot") removes __init from __trace_early_add_events()
but __trace_early_add_new_event() still has __init and will cause a
section mismatch.

Remove __init from __trace_early_add_new_event() as same as
__trace_early_add_events().

Initialize per-instance event list in early boot time (before
initializing instance directory on tracefs). This fixes boot-time
tracing to correctly handle the boot-time per-instance settings.

This allows the boot-time tracing to define dynamic events before
initializing events directory on tracefs.

Currently we have following call flow:

    tracer_init_tracefs()
        tracing_init_dentry()
        event_trace_init()
            tracing_init_dentry()

This shows tracing_init_dentry() is called twice in this flow and this
is not necessary.

Let's remove the second one when it is for sure be properly initialized.

While auditing all module notifiers I noticed a whole bunch of fail
wrt the return value. Notifiers have a 'special' return semantics.

As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but
notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a
comment that says "Don't care".

From this I've used NOTIFY_DONE when the function completely ignores
the callback and notifier_to_error() isn't used.

<title>tracing: Use trace_sched_process_free() instead of exit() for pid tracing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:afcab636657421f7ebfa0783a91f90256bba0091</id>
<content type='text'>
On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.

That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.

This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

<title>tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2d19bd79ae6509858582a9cade739c2e9a4fdca8</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new "hist_debug" file for each trace event, which when read will
dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers defined
on that event.

This is normally off but can be enabled by saying 'y' to the new
CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG config option.

This is in support of the new Documentation file describing histogram
internals, Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst, which was
requested by developers trying to understand the internals when
extending or making use of the hist triggers for higher-level tools.

The histogram-design.rst documentation refers to the hist_debug files
and demonstrates their use with output in the test examples.
