Linus Torvalds 54663cf398 Functional fixes:
- Fix big endian conversion for arm64 in recordmcount processing
 
  - Fix timestamp corruption in ring buffer on discarding events
 
  - Fix memory leak in __create_synth_event()
 
  - Skip selftests if tracing is disabled as it will cause them to fail.
 
 Non-functional fixes:
 
  - Fix help text in Kconfig
 
  - Remove duplicate prototype for trace_empty()
 
  - Fix stale comment about the trace_event_call flags.
 
 Self test update:
 
  - Add more information to the validation output of when a
    corrupt timestamp is found in the ring buffer, and also
    trigger a warning to make sure that tests catch it.

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.
