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.

+=======================
+Extcon Device Subsystem
+=======================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+The Extcon (External Connector) subsystem provides a unified framework for
+managing external connectors in Linux systems. It allows drivers to report
+the state of external connectors and provides a standardized interface for
+userspace to query and monitor these states.
+
+Extcon is particularly useful in modern devices with multiple connectivity
+options, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. It helps manage various
+types of connectors, including:
+
+1. USB connectors (e.g., USB-C, micro-USB)
+2. Charging ports (e.g., fast charging, wireless charging)
+3. Audio jacks (e.g., 3.5mm headphone jack)
+4. Video outputs (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort)
+5. Docking stations
+
+Real-world examples:
+
+1. Smartphone USB-C port:
+   A single USB-C port on a smartphone can serve multiple functions. Extcon
+   can manage the different states of this port, such as:
+   - USB data connection
+   - Charging (various types like fast charging, USB Power Delivery)
+   - Audio output (USB-C headphones)
+   - Video output (USB-C to HDMI adapter)
+
+2. Laptop docking station:
+   When a laptop is connected to a docking station, multiple connections are
+   made simultaneously. Extcon can handle the state changes for:
+   - Power delivery
+   - External displays
+   - USB hub connections
+   - Ethernet connectivity
+
+3. Wireless charging pad:
+   Extcon can manage the state of a wireless charging connection, allowing
+   the system to respond appropriately when a device is placed on or removed
+   from the charging pad.
+
+4. Smart TV HDMI ports:
+   In a smart TV, Extcon can manage multiple HDMI ports, detecting when
+   devices are connected or disconnected, and potentially identifying the
+   type of device (e.g., gaming console, set-top box, Blu-ray player).
+
+The Extcon framework simplifies the development of drivers for these complex
+scenarios by providing a standardized way to report and query connector
+states, handle mutually exclusive connections, and manage connector
+properties. This allows for more robust and flexible handling of external
+connections in modern devices.
+
+Key Components
+==============
+
+extcon_dev
+----------
+
+The core structure representing an Extcon device::
+
+    struct extcon_dev {
+        const char *name;
+        const unsigned int *supported_cable;
+        const u32 *mutually_exclusive;
+
+        /* Internal data */
+        struct device dev;
+        unsigned int id;
+        struct raw_notifier_head nh_all;
+        struct raw_notifier_head *nh;
+        struct list_head entry;
+        int max_supported;
+        spinlock_t lock;
+        u32 state;
+
+        /* Sysfs related */
+        struct device_type extcon_dev_type;
+        struct extcon_cable *cables;
+        struct attribute_group attr_g_muex;
+        struct attribute **attrs_muex;
+        struct device_attribute *d_attrs_muex;
+    };
+
+Key fields:
+
+- ``name``: Name of the Extcon device
+- ``supported_cable``: Array of supported cable types
+- ``mutually_exclusive``: Array defining mutually exclusive cable types
+  This field is crucial for enforcing hardware constraints. It's an array of
+  32-bit unsigned integers, where each element represents a set of mutually
+  exclusive cable types. The array should be terminated with a 0.
+
+  For example:
+
+  ::
+
+      static const u32 mutually_exclusive[] = {
+          BIT(0) | BIT(1),  /* Cable 0 and 1 are mutually exclusive */
+          BIT(2) | BIT(3) | BIT(4),  /* Cables 2, 3, and 4 are mutually exclusive */
+          0  /* Terminator */
+      };
+
+  In this example, cables 0 and 1 cannot be connected simultaneously, and
+  cables 2, 3, and 4 are also mutually exclusive. This is useful for
+  scenarios like a single port that can either be USB or HDMI, but not both
+  at the same time.
+
+  The Extcon core uses this information to prevent invalid combinations of
+  cable states, ensuring that the reported states are always consistent
+  with the hardware capabilities.
+
+- ``state``: Current state of the device (bitmap of connected cables)
+
+
+extcon_cable
+------------
+
+Represents an individual cable managed by an Extcon device::
+
+    struct extcon_cable {
+        struct extcon_dev *edev;
+        int cable_index;
+        struct attribute_group attr_g;
+        struct device_attribute attr_name;
+        struct device_attribute attr_state;
+        struct attribute *attrs[3];
+        union extcon_property_value usb_propval[EXTCON_PROP_USB_CNT];
+        union extcon_property_value chg_propval[EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CNT];
+        union extcon_property_value jack_propval[EXTCON_PROP_JACK_CNT];
+        union extcon_property_value disp_propval[EXTCON_PROP_DISP_CNT];
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(usb_bits, EXTCON_PROP_USB_CNT);
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(chg_bits, EXTCON_PROP_CHG_CNT);
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(jack_bits, EXTCON_PROP_JACK_CNT);
+        DECLARE_BITMAP(disp_bits, EXTCON_PROP_DISP_CNT);
+    };

+
+This example demonstrates:
+---------------------------
+
+- Defining supported cable types (USB and USB Host in this case).
+- Allocating and registering an extcon device.
+- Setting an initial state for a cable (USB connected in this example).
+- Clearing the state when the driver is removed.
