Linus Torvalds 35a84f34cf Joel Fernandes asked to add a feature in tracing that Android had its
own patch internally for. I took it back in 4.13. Now he realizes that
 he had a mistake, and swapped the values from what Android had. This
 means that the old Android tools will break when using a new kernel
 that has the new feature on it.
 
 The options are:
 
  1. To swap it back to what Android wants.
  2. Add a command line option or something to do the swap
  3. Just let Android carry a patch that swaps it back
 
 Since it requires setting a tracing option to enable this anyway,
 I doubt there are other users of this than Android. Thus, I've
 decided to take option 1. If someone else is actually depending on the
 order that is in the kernel, then we will have to revert this change
 and go to option 2 or 3.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
