Merge tag 'trace-v4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"There's been a few memory issues found with ftrace.
One was simply a memory leak where not all was being freed that should
have been in releasing a file pointer on set_graph_function.
Then Thomas found that the ftrace trampolines were marked for
read/write as well as execute. To shrink the possible attack surface,
he added calls to set them to ro. Which also uncovered some other
issues with freeing module allocated memory that had its permissions
changed.
Kprobes had a similar issue which is fixed and a selftest was added to
trigger that issue again"
