Linus Torvalds 5939d45155 Tracing fixes for 6.9:
- Fix the buffer_percent accounting as it is dependent on three variables:
   1) pages_read - number of subbuffers read
   2) pages_lost - number of subbuffers lost due to overwrite
   3) pages_touched - number of pages that a writer entered
   These three counters only increment, and to know how many active pages
   there are on the buffer at any given time, the pages_read and
   pages_lost are subtracted from pages_touched. But the pages touched
   was incremented whenever any writer went to the next subbuffer even
   if it wasn't the only one, so it was incremented more than it should
   be causing the counter for how many subbuffers currently have content
   incorrect, which caused the buffer_percent that holds waiters until
   the ring buffer is filled to a given percentage to wake up early.
 
 - Fix warning of unused functions when PERF_EVENTS is not configured in
 
 - Replace bad tab with space in Kconfig for FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION_SIZE
 
 - Fix to some kerneldoc function comments in eventfs code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
