Merge tag 'trace-v4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "This is mostly clean ups and small fixes.  Some of the more visible
  changes are:

   - The function pid code uses the event pid filtering logic
   - [ku]probe events have access to current->comm
   - trace_printk now has sample code
   - PCI devices now trace physical addresses
   - stack tracing has less unnessary functions traced"

* tag 'trace-v4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:

  tracing: Using for_each_set_bit() to simplify trace_pid_write()
  ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs()
  tracing/function_graph: Fix filters for function_graph threshold
  tracing: Skip more functions when doing stack tracing of events
  tracing: Expose CPU physical addresses (resource values) for PCI devices
