Linus Torvalds b8e46d22dc This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov. The first is a fix to a
race condition that happens between enabling/disabling syscall tracepoints
 and new process creations (the check to go into the ptrace path for a process
 can be set when it shouldn't, or not set when it should). Not a major bug
 but one that should be fixed and even applied to stable.
 
 The other two patches are cleanup/fixes that are not that critical, but
 for an -rc1 release would be nice to have. They both deal with syscall
 tracepoints.
 
 It also includes a patch to introduce a new macro for the TRACE_EVENT()
 format called __field_struct(). Originally, __field() was used to record
 any variable into a trace event, but with the addition of setting the
 "is signed" attribute, the check causes anything but a primitive variable
 to fail to compile. That is, structs and unions can't be used as they
 once were. When the "is signed" check was introduce there were only
 primitive variables being recorded. But that will change soon and it
 was reported that __field() causes build failures.
 
 To solve the __field() issue, __field_struct() is introduced to allow
 trace_events to be able to record complex types too.
