Linus Torvalds 9b1f61d5d7 tracing updates for 5.13
New feature:
 
  The "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory. When set
  the function tracer will detect if the current function being traced
  is the same as the previous one, and instead of recording it, it will
  keep track of the number of times that the function is repeated in a row.
  And when another function is recorded, it will write a new event that
  shows the function that repeated, the number of times it repeated and
  the time stamp of when the last repeated function occurred.
 
 Enhancements:
 
  In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
  buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
  as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
  timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no longer
  needs to waste ring buffer space.
 
  New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
  dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.
 
 Fixes:
 
  No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for "saved_cmdlines"
  to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows for a much larger
  range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the task names to be dropped
  for all tasks with a PID greater than 32768.
 
  Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.
 
 Clean ups:
 
  Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.
 
  Better management of ftrace_page allocations.
