Linus Torvalds aa41478a57 Tracing fixes for 6.1:
- Found that the synthetic events were using strlen/strscpy() on values
   that could have come from userspace, and that is bad.
   Consolidate the string logic of kprobe and eprobe and extend it to
   the synthetic events to safely process string addresses.
 
 - Clean up content of text dump in ftrace_bug() where the output does not
   make char reads into signed and sign extending the byte output.
 
 - Fix some kernel docs in the ring buffer code.

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.
