One more linux-next patch series. The first patch is a ring buffer boot time selftest. A bug in my development code looked like the ring buffer was dropping events, and I wrote a test to make sure that wasn't the case. The bug ended up being a stupid mistake in my development code, but the ring buffer test seemed like a good idea to include in the kernel as an option.
Next is a series of clean ups by Jovi.
Jovi also pointed out issues with ftrace_dump(). It's been on my todo
list to clean up ftrace_dump() for a long time, and finally decided
to do so. It wasn't hard and was quick to do. There was a long standing
bug where an NMI triggering a dump while another dump was happening
could cause a deadlock. I marked that patch for stable, but since its
really just a debugging tool and I don't recall ever hitting the deadlock
(I might have), I decided it can wait for 3.10 and I'll do the backports
when I get the "Failed to apply" messages from Greg Kroah-Hartman's
stable scripts.
Last patch brings the README file in debugfs/tracing/ up to date with
more useful information.
Enjoy!
