[for-linus][PATCH 0/3] tracing: Fixes for v7.1

From: Steven Rostedt

tracing fixes for v7.1:

- Fix inverted check of registering the stats for branch tracing

When calling register_stat_tracer() which returns zero on success and
negative on error, the callers were checking the return of zero as an
error and printing a warning message. Because this was just a normal
printk() message and not a WARN(), it wasn't caught in any testing.

Fix the check to print the warning message when an error actually happens.

- Fix a typo in a comment in tracepoint.h

- Limit the size of event probes to 3K in size

It is possible to create a dynamic event probe via the tracefs system that
is greater than the max size of an event that the ring buffer can hold.
This basically causes the event to become useless. Limit the size of an
event probe to be 3K as that should be large enough to handle any dynamic
events being created, and fits within the PAGE_SIZE sub-buffers of the
ring buffer.
