Linus Torvalds 09c0796adf Tracing updates for 5.11
The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called:
 CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it.
 All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct
 pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then
 the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the
 function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if
 a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it
 can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough
 information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception
 (needed for kprobes).
 
 New config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at
 most every event recorded.  The "check_buffer()" calls will conflict with
 mainline, because I purposely added the check without including the fix that
 it caught, which is in mainline. Running a kernel built from the commit of
 the added check will trigger it.
 
 Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to
 the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
 callbacks).
 
 Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do
 it for it (saving on that extra function call).
 
 New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all
 the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.
 This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the
 function tracer.
 
 The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work
 queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
 
 Various clean ups and last minute fixes.
