From bdab18633a302c82b5e5d5dbc4e38b0baf9c0837 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2026 08:15:23 -0700 Subject: Merge tag 'locking-urgent-2026-09-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull futex fix from Ingo Molnar: - Also allocate a default private futex hash on vfork() as well, to avoid races with (private) futex waiters (Peter Zijlstra) * tag 'locking-urgent-2026-09-20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: futex: Also allocate private hash on vfork() --- Documentation/trace/index.rst | 111 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 111 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/trace/index.rst (limited to 'Documentation/trace/index.rst') diff --git a/Documentation/trace/index.rst b/Documentation/trace/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f4058e8e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/trace/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,111 @@ +================================ +Linux Tracing Technologies Guide +================================ + +Tracing in the Linux kernel is a powerful mechanism that allows +developers and system administrators to analyze and debug system +behavior.
