Linus Torvalds 24085f70a6 Tracing fixes to previous fixes:
Unfortunately, the last set of fixes introduced some minor bugs:
 
  - The bootconfig apply_xbc() leak fix caused the application to return
    a positive number on success, when it should have returned zero.
 
  - The preempt_irq_delay_thread fix to make the creation code
    wait for the kthread to finish to prevent it from executing after
    module unload, can now cause the kthread to exit before it even
    executes (preventing it to run its tests).
 
  - The fix to the bootconfig that fixed the initrd to remove the
    bootconfig from causing the kernel to panic, now prints a warning
    that the bootconfig is not found, even when bootconfig is not
    on the command line.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
