Merge tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-tracegrafted
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

+ cfg80211 is the Linux wireless LAN (802.11) configuration API.
+ Enable this if you have a wireless device.
+
+ For more information refer to documentation on the wireless wiki:

+ factory calibration or validation tools for wireless chips.
+
+ Select this option ONLY for kernels that are specifically
+ built for such purposes.
+
+ Debugging tools that are supposed to end up in the hands of

+
+config CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS
+ bool "enable developer warnings"

+ help
+ This option enables some additional warnings that help
+ cfg80211 developers and driver developers, but beware that
+ they can also trigger due to races with userspace.
+
+ For example, when a driver reports that it was disconnected
+ from the AP, but the user disconnects manually at the same
+ time, the warning might trigger spuriously due to races.
+
+ Say Y only if you are developing cfg80211 or a driver based
+ on it (or mac80211).

+ You should disable this option unless you are both capable
+ and willing to ensure your system will remain regulatory
+ compliant with the features available under this option.
+ Some options may still be under heavy development and
+ for whatever reason regulatory compliance has not or
+ cannot yet be verified. Regulatory verification may at
+ times only be possible until you have the final system
+ in place.
+
+ This option should only be enabled by system integrators
+ or distributions that have done work necessary to ensure
+ regulatory certification on the system with the enabled
+ features. Alternatively you can enable this option if
+ you are a wireless researcher and are working in a controlled
+ and approved environment by your local regulatory agency.

+ bool "cfg80211 regulatory support for cellular base station hints"
+ depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
+ help
+ This option enables support for parsing regulatory hints
+ from cellular base stations. If enabled and at least one driver
+ claims support for parsing cellular base station hints the
+ regulatory core will allow and parse these regulatory hints.
+ The regulatory core will only apply these regulatory hints on
+ drivers that support this feature. You should only enable this
+ feature if you have tested and validated this feature on your
+ systems.
+
+config CFG80211_REG_RELAX_NO_IR
+ bool "cfg80211 support for NO_IR relaxation"
+ depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
+ help
+ This option enables support for relaxation of the NO_IR flag for
+ situations that certain regulatory bodies have provided clarifications
+ on how relaxation can occur. This feature has an inherent dependency on
+ userspace features which must have been properly tested and as such is
+ not enabled by default.
+
+ A relaxation feature example is allowing the operation of a P2P group
+ owner (GO) on channels marked with NO_IR if there is an additional BSS
+ interface which associated to an AP which userspace assumes or confirms
+ to be an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection support and DFS
+ capabilities. However, note that in order to not create daisy chain
+ scenarios, this relaxation is not allowed in cases where the BSS client
+ is associated to P2P GO and in addition the P2P GO instantiated on
+ a channel due to this relaxation should not allow connection from
+ non P2P clients.
+
+ The regulatory core will apply these relaxations only for drivers that
+ support this feature by declaring the appropriate channel flags and
+ capabilities in their registration flow.
+
+config CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS
+ bool "enable powersave by default"
+ default y
+ help
+ This option enables powersave mode by default.
