Merge tag 'trace-v4.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Various fixes in tracing: - Tracepoints should not give warning on OOM failures - Use special field for function pointer in trace event - Fix igrab issues in uprobes - Fixes to the new histogram triggers" * tag 'trace-v4.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracepoint: Do not warn on ENOMEM tracing: Add field modifier parsing hist error for hist triggers tracing: Add field parsing hist error for hist triggers tracing: Restore proper field flag printing when displaying triggers tracing: initcall: Ordered comparison of function pointers tracing: Remove igrab() iput() call from uprobes.c tracing: Fix bad use of igrab in trace_uprobe.c
