Linus,
Tracing updates for 5.8: No new features this release. Mostly clean ups, restructuring and documentation. - Have ftrace_bug() show ftrace errors before the WARN, as the WARN will reboot the box before the error messages are printed if panic_on_warn is set. - Have traceoff_on_warn disable tracing sooner (before prints) - Write a message to the trace buffer that its being disabled when disable_trace_on_warning() is set. - Separate out synthetic events from histogram code to let it be used by other parts of the kernel. - More documentation on histogram design. - Other small fixes and clean ups.
