[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.
