Calvin Owens afd3def0cd tracing: Fix trace_buf_size= cmdline parameter with sizes >= 2G 
commit d008ba8be8 upstream.

Some of the sizing logic through tracer_alloc_buffers() uses int
internally, causing unexpected behavior if the user passes a value that
does not fit in an int (on my x86 machine, the result is uselessly tiny
buffers).

Fix by plumbing the parameter's real type (unsigned long) through to the
ring buffer allocation functions, which already use unsigned long.

It has always been possible to create larger ring buffers via the sysfs
interface: this only affects the cmdline parameter.

README 

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.
