Linus Torvalds aa1a8ce533 New tracing features:
- The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
    The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading
    as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file
    would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just
    disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the
    BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading.
    This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling
    there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set.
 
  - New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced
    by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the
    function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the
    set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse.
 
  - New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
    not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.
    Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced.
    Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be trace if
    one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that
    is allowed to be traced.
 
 Tracing related features:
 
  - New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.
    If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file
    is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.
 
  - New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
    off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)
 
 Other minor updates and fixes.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
