Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix timerlat notification, as it was not triggering the notify to users when a new max latency was hit. - Do not trigger max latency if the tracing is off. When tracing is off, the ring buffer is not updated, it does not make sense to notify when there's a new max latency detected by the tracer, as why that latency happened is not available. The tracing logic still runs when the ring buffer is disabled, but it should not be triggering notifications. - Fix race on freeing the synthetic event "last_cmd" variable by adding a mutex around it. - Fix race between reader and writer of the ring buffer by adding memory barriers. When the writer is still on the reader page it must have its content visible on the buffer before it moves the commit index that the reader uses to know how much content is on the page. - Make get_lock_parent_ip() always inlined, as it uses _THIS_IP_ and _RET_IP_, which gets broken if it is not inlined. - Make __field(int, arr[5]) in a TRACE_EVENT() macro fail to build. The field formats of trace events are calculated by using sizeof(type) and other means by what is passed into the structure macros like __field(). The __field() macro is only meant for atom types like int, long, short, pointer, etc. It is not meant for arrays. The code will currently compile with arrays, but then the format produced will be inaccurate, and user space parsing tools will break. Two bugs have already been fixed, now add code that will make the kernel fail to build if another trace event includes this buggy field format. - Fix boot up snapshot code: Boot snapshots were triggering when not even asked for on the kernel command line. This was caused by two bugs: 1) It would trigger a snapshot on any instance if one was created from the kernel command line. 2) The error handling would only affect the top level instance. So the fact that a snapshot was done on a instance that didn't allocate a buffer triggered a warning written into the top level buffer, and worse yet, disabled the top level buffer. - Fix memory leak that was caused when an error was logged in a trace buffer instance, and then the buffer instance was removed. The allocated error log messages still needed to be freed. * tag 'trace-v6.3-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Free error logs of tracing instances tracing: Fix ftrace_boot_snapshot command line logic tracing: Have tracing_snapshot_instance_cond() write errors to the appropriate instance tracing: Error if a trace event has an array for a __field() tracing/osnoise: Fix notify new tracing_max_latency tracing/timerlat: Notify new max thread latency ftrace: Mark get_lock_parent_ip() __always_inline ring-buffer: Fix race while reader and writer are on the same page tracing/synthetic: Fix races on freeing last_cmd
