Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix error output of boot instance creation failure

   Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out
   the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is
   because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by
   strsep(). Print the saved name instead.

   While at it, print the error code of the failure.

 - Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams

   Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events.
   But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event
   that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free
   the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and
   still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use
   the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate
   histogram and crash the kernel.

   Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram
   data.

 - Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test

   The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check
   if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were
   to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error
   returned.

 - Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size

   If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update
   the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to
   read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring
   buffer sub-buffer size.

 - Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory

   In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the
   eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which
   calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed
   has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of
   the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not
   yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because
   list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false.

   Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and
   makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized
   upon creation.

 - Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code

   The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does
   not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a
   failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed.

 - Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure

   On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state.
   It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if
   the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with
   a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its
   data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still
   using it.

   In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL
   before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will
   not free the parent's descriptor.

 - Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap

   simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and
   post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final
   attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a
   failed replacement leaves it at -1.

   But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and
   exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it.

 - Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error

   Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it
   triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it
   exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING.

+What:		/sys/fs/ocfs2/
+Date:		April 2008
+Contact:	ocfs2-devel@lists.linux.dev
+Description:
+		The /sys/fs/ocfs2 directory contains knobs used by the
+		ocfs2-tools to interact with the filesystem.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ocfs2/max_locking_protocol
+Date:		April 2008
+Contact:	ocfs2-devel@lists.linux.dev
+Description:
+		The /sys/fs/ocfs2/max_locking_protocol file displays version
+		of ocfs2 locking supported by the filesystem.  This version
+		covers how ocfs2 uses distributed locking between cluster
+		nodes.
+
+		The protocol version has a major and minor number.  Two
+		cluster nodes can interoperate if they have an identical
+		major number and an overlapping minor number - thus,
+		a node with version 1.10 can interoperate with a node
+		sporting version 1.8, as long as both use the 1.8 protocol.
+
+		Reading from this file returns a single line, the major
+		number and minor number joined by a period, eg "1.10".
+
+		This file is read-only.  The value is compiled into the
+		driver.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ocfs2/loaded_cluster_plugins
+Date:		April 2008
+Contact:	ocfs2-devel@lists.linux.dev
+Description:
+		The /sys/fs/ocfs2/loaded_cluster_plugins file describes
+		the available plugins to support ocfs2 cluster operation.
+		A cluster plugin is required to use ocfs2 in a cluster.
+		There are currently two available plugins:
+
+		* 'o2cb' - The classic o2cb cluster stack that ocfs2 has
+			used since its inception.
+		* 'user' - A plugin supporting userspace cluster software
+			in conjunction with fs/dlm.
+
+		Reading from this file returns the names of all loaded
+		plugins, one per line.
+
+		This file is read-only.  Its contents may change as
+		plugins are loaded or removed.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ocfs2/active_cluster_plugin
+Date:		April 2008
+Contact:	ocfs2-devel@lists.linux.dev
+Description:
+		The /sys/fs/ocfs2/active_cluster_plugin displays which
+		cluster plugin is currently in use by the filesystem.
+		The active plugin will appear in the loaded_cluster_plugins
+		file as well.  Only one plugin can be used at a time.
+
+		Reading from this file returns the name of the active plugin
+		on a single line.
+
+		This file is read-only.  Which plugin is active depends on
+		the cluster stack in use.  The contents may change
+		when all filesystems are unmounted and the cluster stack
+		is changed.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ocfs2/cluster_stack
+Date:		April 2008
+Contact:	ocfs2-devel@lists.linux.dev
+Description:
+		The /sys/fs/ocfs2/cluster_stack file contains the name
+		of current ocfs2 cluster stack.  This value is set by
+		userspace tools when bringing the cluster stack online.
+
+		Cluster stack names are 4 characters in length.
+
+		When the 'o2cb' cluster stack is used, the 'o2cb' cluster
+		plugin is active.  All other cluster stacks use the 'user'
+		cluster plugin.
+
+		Reading from this file returns the name of the current
+		cluster stack on a single line.
+
+		Writing a new stack name to this file changes the current
+		cluster stack unless there are mounted ocfs2 filesystems.
+		If there are mounted filesystems, attempts to change the
+		stack return an error.
