Merge tag 'trace-v4.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes

  Back in January I posted patches to create function based events.
  These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to
  easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After
  posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement
  this instead with kprobes.

  The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and
  needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and
  I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in
  the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches,
  and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface.

   - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
     kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
     to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to
     know what register or where on the stack the argument was).

   - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you
     reference a mac address, you can add:

	echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events

     And this will produce:

	mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}

  Other changes include

   - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules

   - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
     tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).

   - Added support for SDT in uprobes"

[ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.
  Let's not use random TLA's in explanations unless they are fairly
  well-established as generic (at least for kernel people) - Linus ]
