Pull seq-buf/ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes fixes for seq_buf_bprintf() truncation issue.  It also
  contains fixes to ftrace when /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled and
  function tracing are started.  Doing the following causes some issues:

    # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
    # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
    # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
    # echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
    # echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

  As well as with function tracing too.  Pratyush Anand first reported
  this issue to me and supplied a patch.  When I tested this on my x86
  test box, it caused thousands of backtraces and warnings to appear in
  dmesg, which also caused a denial of service (a warning for every
  function that was listed).  I applied Pratyush's patch but it did not
  fix the issue for me.  I looked into it and found a slight problem
  with trampoline accounting.  I fixed it and sent Pratyush a patch, but
  he said that it did not fix the issue for him.

  I later learned tha Pratyush was using an ARM64 server, and when I
  tested on my ARM board, I was able to reproduce the same issue as
  Pratyush.  After applying his patch, it fixed the problem.  The above
  test uncovered two different bugs, one in x86 and one in ARM and
  ARM64.  As this looked like it would affect PowerPC, I tested it on my
  PPC64 box.  It too broke, but neither the patch that fixed ARM or x86
  fixed this box (the changes were all in generic code!).  The above
  test, uncovered two more bugs that affected PowerPC.  Again, the
  changes were only done to generic code.  It's the way the arch code
  expected things to be done that was different between the archs.  Some
  where more sensitive than others.

  The rest of this series fixes the PPC bugs as well"
