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" * tag 'trace-v4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: x86/ftrace: Make sure that ftrace trampolines are not RWX x86/mm/ftrace: Do not bug in early boot on irqs_disabled in cpu_flush_range() selftests/ftrace: Add a testcase for many kprobe events kprobes/x86: Fix to set RWX bits correctly before releasing trampoline ftrace: Fix memory leak in ftrace_graph_release()
