- The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events that
interrupted other ring buffer events. Before this change, if an interrupt
came in while recording another event, and that interrupt also had an
event, those events would all have the same time stamp as the event it
interrupted. Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time
stamp and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
while interrupting another event.
- Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
default config, but then add options to override the default.
- A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the ftrace
PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to be backported.
- Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.
