mainlining shenanigans
bc1a72afdc
When the ring buffer was first created, the iterator followed the normal producer/consumer operations where it had both a peek() operation, that just returned the event at the current location, and a read(), that would return the event at the current location and also increment the iterator such that the next peek() or read() will return the next event. The only use of the ring_buffer_read() is currently to move the iterator to the next location and nothing now actually reads the event it returns. Rename this function to its actual use case to ring_buffer_iter_advance(), which also adds the "iter" part to the name, which is more meaningful. As the timestamp returned by ring_buffer_read() was never used, there's no reason that this new version should bother having returning it. It will also become a void function.

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.
