Merge tag 'trace-v4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New features for this release:
- Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
- The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing
instances. i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo
do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very
hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
- New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the
set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes
with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
- Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
- Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function
tracer (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing
will come in the next release.
- Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance"
