Merge tag 'trace-v6.8-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:

 - While working on the ring buffer I noticed that the counter used for
   knowing where the end of the data is on a sub-buffer was not a full
   "int" but just 20 bits. It was masked out to 0xfffff.

   With the new code that allows the user to change the size of the
   sub-buffer, it is theoretically possible to ask for a size bigger
   than 2^20. If that happens, unexpected results may occur as there's
   no code checking if the counter overflowed the 20 bits of the write
   mask. There are other checks to make sure events fit in the
   sub-buffer, but if the sub-buffer itself is too big, that is not
   checked.

   Add a check in the resize of the sub-buffer to make sure that it
   never goes beyond the size of the counter that holds how much data is
   on it.
