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. * tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-multi-modify samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-modify eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei() tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop() tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers tracing: Fix logged instance name on creation failure

+===============================================
+Xilinx ZynqMP Ultrascale+ DisplayPort Subsystem
+===============================================
+
+This subsystem handles DisplayPort video and audio output on the ZynqMP. It
+supports in-memory framebuffers with the DisplayPort DMA controller
+(xilinx-dpdma), as well as "live" video and audio from the programmable logic
+(PL). This subsystem can perform several transformations, including color space
+conversion, alpha blending, and audio mixing, although not all features are
+currently supported.
+
+debugfs
+-------
+
+To support debugging and compliance testing, several test modes can be enabled
+though debugfs. The following files in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/X/DP-1/test/
+control the DisplayPort test modes:
+
+active:
+ Writing a 1 to this file will activate test mode, and writing a 0 will
+ deactivate test mode. Writing a 1 or 0 when the test mode is already
+ active/inactive will re-activate/re-deactivate test mode. When test
+ mode is inactive, changes made to other files will have no (immediate)
+ effect, although the settings will be saved for when test mode is
+ activated. When test mode is active, changes made to other files will
+ apply immediately.
+
+custom:
+ Custom test pattern value
+
+downspread:
+ Enable/disable clock downspreading (spread-spectrum clocking) by
+ writing 1/0
+
+enhanced:
+ Enable/disable enhanced framing
+
+ignore_aux_errors:
+ Ignore AUX errors when set to 1. Writes to this file take effect
+ immediately (regardless of whether test mode is active) and affect all
+ AUX transfers.
+
+ignore_hpd:
+ Ignore hotplug events (such as cable removals or monitor link
+ retraining requests) when set to 1. Writes to this file take effect
+ immediately (regardless of whether test mode is active).
+
+laneX_preemphasis:
+ Preemphasis from 0 (lowest) to 2 (highest) for lane X
+
+laneX_swing:
+ Voltage swing from 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest) for lane X
+
+lanes:
+ Number of lanes to use (1, 2, or 4)
+
+pattern:
+ Test pattern. May be one of:
+
+ video
+ Use regular video input
+
+ symbol-error
+ Symbol error measurement pattern
+
+ prbs7
+ Output of the PRBS7 (x^7 + x^6 + 1) polynomial
+
+ 80bit-custom
+ A custom 80-bit pattern
+
+ cp2520
+ HBR2 compliance eye pattern
+
+ tps1
+ Link training symbol pattern TPS1 (/D10.2/)
+
+ tps2
+ Link training symbol pattern TPS2
+
+ tps3
+ Link training symbol pattern TPS3 (for HBR2)
+
+rate:
+ Rate in hertz. One of
+
+ * 5400000000 (HBR2)
+ * 2700000000 (HBR)
+ * 1620000000 (RBR)
+
+You can dump the displayport test settings with the following command::
+
+ for prop in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/*; do
+ printf '%-17s ' ${prop##*/}
+ if [ ${prop##*/} = custom ]; then
+ hexdump -C $prop | head -1
+ else
+ cat $prop
+ fi
+ done
+
+The output could look something like::
+
+ active 1
+ custom 00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |..........|
+ downspread 0
+ enhanced 1
+ ignore_aux_errors 1
+ ignore_hpd 1
+ lane0_preemphasis 0
+ lane0_swing 3
+ lane1_preemphasis 0
+ lane1_swing 3
+ lanes 2
+ pattern prbs7
+ rate 1620000000
+
+The recommended test procedure is to connect the board to a monitor,
+configure test mode, activate test mode, and then disconnect the cable
+and connect it to your test equipment of choice. For example, one
+sequence of commands could be::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/enhanced
+ echo tps1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/pattern
+ echo 1620000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/rate
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/ignore_aux_errors
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/ignore_hpd
+ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/DP-1/test/active
+
+at which point the cable could be disconnected from the monitor.
