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.

+
+
+Abstract
+========
+This document describes the ACPICA project and the relationship between
+ACPICA and Linux.  It also describes how ACPICA code in drivers/acpi/acpica,
+include/acpi and tools/power/acpi is automatically updated to follow the
+upstream.
+
+ACPICA Project
+==============
+
+The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an operating
+system (OS)-independent reference implementation of the Advanced
+Configuration and Power Interface Specification (ACPI).  It has been
+adapted by various host OSes.  By directly integrating ACPICA, Linux can
+also benefit from the application experiences of ACPICA from other host
+OSes.
+
+The homepage of ACPICA project is: www.acpica.org, it is maintained and
+supported by Intel Corporation.
+
+The following figure depicts the Linux ACPI subsystem where the ACPICA
+adaptation is included::

+ACPICA Release
+==============
+
+The ACPICA project maintains its code base at the following repository URL:
+https://github.com/open-acpica/acpica.git. As a rule, a release is made every
+month.
+
+As the coding style adopted by the ACPICA project is not acceptable by
+Linux, there is a release process to convert the ACPICA git commits into
+Linux patches.  The patches generated by this process are referred to as
+"linuxized ACPICA patches".  The release process is carried out on a local
+copy the ACPICA git repository.  Each commit in the monthly release is
+converted into a linuxized ACPICA patch.  Together, they form the monthly
+ACPICA release patchset for the Linux ACPI community.  This process is
+illustrated in the following figure::

+
+   Before the linuxized ACPICA patches are sent to the Linux ACPI community
+   for review, there is a quality assurance build test process to reduce
+   porting issues.  Currently this build process only takes care of the
+   following kernel configuration options:
+   CONFIG_ACPI/CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG/CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER
+
+ACPICA Divergences
+==================
+
+Ideally, all of the ACPICA commits should be converted into Linux patches
+automatically without manual modifications, the "linux / master" tree should
+contain the ACPICA code that exactly corresponds to the ACPICA code
+contained in "new linuxized acpica" tree and it should be possible to run
+the release process fully automatically.
+
+As a matter of fact, however, there are source code differences between
+the ACPICA code in Linux and the upstream ACPICA code, referred to as
+"ACPICA Divergences".
+
+The various sources of ACPICA divergences include:
+   1. Legacy divergences - Before the current ACPICA release process was
+      established, there already had been divergences between Linux and
+      ACPICA. Over the past several years those divergences have been greatly
+      reduced, but there still are several ones and it takes time to figure
+      out the underlying reasons for their existence.
+   2. Manual modifications - Any manual modification (eg. coding style fixes)
+      made directly in the Linux sources obviously hurts the ACPICA release
+      automation.  Thus it is recommended to fix such issues in the ACPICA
+      upstream source code and generate the linuxized fix using the ACPICA
+      release utilities (please refer to Section 4 below for the details).
+   3. Linux specific features - Sometimes it's impossible to use the
+      current ACPICA APIs to implement features required by the Linux kernel,
+      so Linux developers occasionally have to change ACPICA code directly.
+      Those changes may not be acceptable by ACPICA upstream and in such cases
+      they are left as committed ACPICA divergences unless the ACPICA side can
+      implement new mechanisms as replacements for them.
+   4. ACPICA release fixups - ACPICA only tests commits using a set of the
+      user space simulation utilities, thus the linuxized ACPICA patches may
+      break the Linux kernel, leaving us build/boot failures.  In order to
+      avoid breaking Linux bisection, fixes are applied directly to the
+      linuxized ACPICA patches during the release process.  When the release
+      fixups are backported to the upstream ACPICA sources, they must follow
+      the upstream ACPICA rules and so further modifications may appear.
+      That may result in the appearance of new divergences.
+   5. Fast tracking of ACPICA commits - Some ACPICA commits are regression
+      fixes or stable-candidate material, so they are applied in advance with
+      respect to the ACPICA release process.  If such commits are reverted or
+      rebased on the ACPICA side in order to offer better solutions, new ACPICA
+      divergences are generated.
+
+ACPICA Development
+==================
+
+This paragraph guides Linux developers to use the ACPICA upstream release
+utilities to obtain Linux patches corresponding to upstream ACPICA commits
+before they become available from the ACPICA release process.
+
+   1. Cherry-pick an ACPICA commit
+
+   First you need to git clone the ACPICA repository and the ACPICA change
+   you want to cherry pick must be committed into the local repository.
+
+   Then the gen-patch.sh command can help to cherry-pick an ACPICA commit
+   from the ACPICA local repository::
+
+   $ git clone https://github.com/open-acpica/acpica
+   $ cd acpica
+   $ generate/linux/gen-patch.sh -u [commit ID]
+
+   Here the commit ID is the ACPICA local repository commit ID you want to
+   cherry pick.  It can be omitted if the commit is "HEAD".
+
+   2. Cherry-pick recent ACPICA commits
+
+   Sometimes you need to rebase your code on top of the most recent ACPICA
+   changes that haven't been applied to Linux yet.
+
+   You can generate the ACPICA release series yourself and rebase your code on
+   top of the generated ACPICA release patches::
+
+   $ git clone https://github.com/open-acpica/acpica
+   $ cd acpica
+   $ generate/linux/make-patches.sh -u [commit ID]
+
+   The commit ID should be the last ACPICA commit accepted by Linux.  Usually,
+   it is the commit modifying ACPI_CA_VERSION.  It can be found by executing
+   "git blame source/include/acpixf.h" and referencing the line that contains
+   "ACPI_CA_VERSION".
+
+   3. Inspect the current divergences
+
+   If you have local copies of both Linux and upstream ACPICA, you can generate
+   a diff file indicating the state of the current divergences::
+
+   # git clone https://github.com/open-acpica/acpica
+   # git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
+   # cd acpica
+   # generate/linux/divergence.sh -s ../linux

+ACPI Scan Handlers
+==================

+
+During system initialization and ACPI-based device hot-add, the ACPI namespace
+is scanned in search of device objects that generally represent various pieces
+of hardware.  This causes a struct acpi_device object to be created and
+registered with the driver core for every device object in the ACPI namespace
+and the hierarchy of those struct acpi_device objects reflects the namespace
+layout (i.e. parent device objects in the namespace are represented by parent
+struct acpi_device objects and analogously for their children).  Those struct
+acpi_device objects are referred to as "device nodes" in what follows, but they
+should not be confused with struct device_node objects used by the Device Trees
+parsing code (although their role is analogous to the role of those objects).
+
+During ACPI-based device hot-remove device nodes representing pieces of hardware
+being removed are unregistered and deleted.
+
+The core ACPI namespace scanning code in drivers/acpi/scan.c carries out basic
+initialization of device nodes, such as retrieving common configuration
+information from the device objects represented by them and populating them with
+appropriate data, but some of them require additional handling after they have
+been registered.  For example, if the given device node represents a PCI host
+bridge, its registration should cause the PCI bus under that bridge to be
+enumerated and PCI devices on that bus to be registered with the driver core.
+Similarly, if the device node represents a PCI interrupt link, it is necessary
+to configure that link so that the kernel can use it.
+
+Those additional configuration tasks usually depend on the type of the hardware
+component represented by the given device node which can be determined on the
+basis of the device node's hardware ID (HID).  They are performed by objects
+called ACPI scan handlers represented by the following structure::
+
+	struct acpi_scan_handler {
+		const struct acpi_device_id *ids;
+		struct list_head list_node;
+		int (*attach)(struct acpi_device *dev, const struct acpi_device_id *id);
+		void (*detach)(struct acpi_device *dev);
+	};

+where ids is the list of IDs of device nodes the given handler is supposed to
+take care of, list_node is the hook to the global list of ACPI scan handlers
+maintained by the ACPI core and the .attach() and .detach() callbacks are
+executed, respectively, after registration of new device nodes and before
+unregistration of device nodes the handler attached to previously.
+
+The namespace scanning function, acpi_bus_scan(), first registers all of the
+device nodes in the given namespace scope with the driver core.  Then, it tries
+to match a scan handler against each of them using the ids arrays of the
+available scan handlers.  If a matching scan handler is found, its .attach()
+callback is executed for the given device node.  If that callback returns 1,
+that means that the handler has claimed the device node and is now responsible
+for carrying out any additional configuration tasks related to it.  It also will
+be responsible for preparing the device node for unregistration in that case.
+The device node's handler field is then populated with the address of the scan
+handler that has claimed it.
+
+If the .attach() callback returns 0, it means that the device node is not
+interesting to the given scan handler and may be matched against the next scan
+handler in the list.  If it returns a (negative) error code, that means that
+the namespace scan should be terminated due to a serious error.  The error code
+returned should then reflect the type of the error.
+
+The namespace trimming function, acpi_bus_trim(), first executes .detach()
+callbacks from the scan handlers of all device nodes in the given namespace
+scope (if they have scan handlers).  Next, it unregisters all of the device
+nodes in that scope.
+
+ACPI scan handlers can be added to the list maintained by the ACPI core with the
+help of the acpi_scan_add_handler() function taking a pointer to the new scan
+handler as an argument.  The order in which scan handlers are added to the list
+is the order in which they are matched against device nodes during namespace
+scans.
+
+All scan handles must be added to the list before acpi_bus_scan() is run for the
+first time and they cannot be removed from it.
