[for-linus][PATCH 0/5] Tracing fixes for 5.12:

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Mar 04 2021 - 09:22:12 EST



Functional fixes:

- Fix big endian conversion for arg64 in recordmcount processing

- Fix timestamp corruption in ring buffer on discarding events

Non-functional fixes:

- Fix help text working in Kconfig

- Remove duplicate prototype for trace_empty()

Self test update:

- Add more information to the validation output of when a
corrupt timestamp is found in the ring buffer, and also
trigger a warning to make sure that tests catch it.

Chen Jun (1):
ftrace: Have recordmcount use w8 to read relp->r_info in arm64_is_fake_mcount

Rolf Eike Beer (1):
tracing: Fix help text of TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK in Kconfig

Steven Rostedt (VMware) (2):
ring-buffer: Force before_stamp and write_stamp to be different on discard
ring-buffer: Add a little more information and a WARN when time stamp going backwards is detected

Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) (1):
