Merge tag 'trace-v4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Nothing major this round.  Mostly small clean ups and fixes.

  Some visible changes:

   - A new flag was added to distinguish traces done in NMI context.

   - Preempt tracer now shows functions where preemption is disabled but
     interrupts are still enabled.

  Other notes:

   - Updates were done to function tracing to allow better performance
     with perf.

   - Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram
     feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be
     configured by simple user commands.  The feature itself was just
     finished, but needs a round in linux-next before being pulled.

     This only includes some infrastructure changes that will be needed"
