Linus Torvalds 4b6f7c624e Tracing fixes for v6.8:
- Fix the #ifndef that didn't have CONFIG_ on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS
   The fix to have dynamic trampolines work with x86 broke arm64 as
   the config used in the #ifdef was HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and not
   CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which removed the fix that the
   previous fix was to fix.
 
 - Fix tracing_on state
   The code to test if "tracing_on" is set used ring_buffer_record_is_on()
   which returns false if the ring buffer isn't able to be written to.
   But the ring buffer disable has several bits that disable it.
   One is internal disabling which is used for resizing and other
   modifications of the ring buffer. But the "tracing_on" user space
   visible flag should only report if tracing is actually on and not
   internally disabled, as this can cause confusion as writing "1"
   when it is disabled will not enable it.
 
   Instead use ring_buffer_record_is_set_on() which shows the user space
   visible settings.
 
 - Fix a false positive kmemleak on saved cmdlines
   Now that the saved_cmdlines structure is allocated via alloc_page()
   and not via kmalloc() it has become invisible to kmemleak.
   The allocation done to one of its pointers was flagged as a
   dangling allocation leak. Make kmemleak aware of this allocation
   and free.
 
 - Fix synthetic event dynamic strings.
   A update that cleaned up the synthetic event code removed the
   return value of trace_string(), and had it return zero instead
   of the length, causing dynamic strings in the synthetic event
   to always have zero size.
 
 - Clean up documentation and header files for seq_buf

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.
