- Fix the return code for ring_buffer_poll_wait() It was returing a -EINVAL instead of EPOLLERR. - Zero out the tracefs_inode so that all fields are initialized. The ti->private could have had stale data, but instead of just initializing it to NULL, clear out the entire structure when it is allocated. - Fix a crash in timerlat The hrtimer was initialized at read and not open, but is canceled at close. If the file was opened and never read the close will pass a NULL pointer to hrtime_cancel(). - Rewrite of eventfs. Linus wrote a patch series to remove the dentry references in the eventfs_inode and to use ref counting and more of proper VFS interfaces to make it work. - Add warning to put_ei() if ei is not set to free. That means something is about to free it when it shouldn't. - Restructure the eventfs_inode to make it more compact, and remove the unused llist field. - Remove the fsnotify*() funtions for when the inodes were being created in the lookup code. It doesn't make sense to notify about creation just because something is being looked up. - The inode hard link count was not accurate. It was being updated when a file was looked up. The inodes of directories were updating their parent inode hard link count every time the inode was created. That means if memory reclaim cleaned a stale directory inode and the inode was lookup up again, it would increment the parent inode again as well. Al Viro said to just have all eventfs directories have a hard link count of 1. That tells user space not to trust it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZb1l/RQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qk6jAQDmecDOnx+j/Rm5krbX/meVPYXFj2CU 1wO7w1HBzopsBwEA5AjTKm9IGrl/eVG/+jViS165b+sJfwEcblHEFPWcIwo= =uUzb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing and eventfs fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix the return code for ring_buffer_poll_wait() It was returing a -EINVAL instead of EPOLLERR. - Zero out the tracefs_inode so that all fields are initialized.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
