Merge tag 'trace-v4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This is mostly clean ups and small fixes. Some of the more visible
changes are:
- The function pid code uses the event pid filtering logic
- [ku]probe events have access to current->comm
- trace_printk now has sample code
- PCI devices now trace physical addresses
- stack tracing has less unnessary functions traced"
* tag 'trace-v4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
printk, tracing: Avoiding unneeded blank lines
tracing: Use __get_str() when manipulating strings
tracing, RAS: Cleanup on __get_str() usage
tracing: Use outer () on __get_str() definition
ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entries
tracing: Have HIST_TRIGGERS select TRACING
tracing: Using for_each_set_bit() to simplify trace_pid_write()
ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs()
tracing/function_graph: Fix filters for function_graph threshold
tracing: Skip more functions when doing stack tracing of events
tracing: Expose CPU physical addresses (resource values) for PCI devices
tracing: Show the preempt count of when the event was called
tracing: Add trace_printk sample code
tracing: Choose static tp_printk buffer by explicit nesting count
tracing: expose current->comm to [ku]probe events
ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do
tracing: Move pid_list write processing into its own function
tracing: Move the pid_list seq_file functions to be global
tracing: Move filtered_pid helper functions into trace.c
tracing: Make the pid filtering helper functions global
