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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJTpxx+AAoJEKQekfcNnQGu8dQH/RWwKuq/SDqdqFrYM3y0MGtU GpWTzaTYfhoO7FE2zNx3JQtfu5Zg+KPzavecEQqYJGdUvd5lopo+GR4TYQ2GIDdA O4gBgXkxJjYCQ4x9INXf/U8Afd4tfCYSWik2zzWUZaJSLd6pMV/4XbqqZItZ7aqt bxWa7CgmSMHmfsO5a3xWzX0ybPCmYw/+G15CZDGguoazO1FU6oFAnKnr86PGhquH eIHzGAO7ka6k+hQwM1gzUi5vIN+OGBZ4HuJCFu/jqaJHMxW0lomL93Gruifk3l4v r2ierd0FjMSrV1BzCWRR+diWq8W0xwOUutFd1eG3fKlKHZJn4oZfiUHsZw65PFQ= =Idsk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.16-rc1-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing cleanups and fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov.
