Linus Torvalds 56f410cf45 This fixes a bug caused by not cleaning up the new instance unique triggers
when deleting an instance. It also creates a selftest that triggers that bug.
 
 Fix the delayed optimization happening after kprobes boot up self tests
 being removed by freeing of init memory.
 
 Comment kprobes on why the delay optimization is not a problem for removal
 of modules, to keep other developers from searching that riddle.
 
 Fix another rcu isn't watching in stack trace tracing.
 
 Naveen N. Rao (4):
       ftrace: Simplify glob handling in unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func()
       ftrace/instances: Clear function triggers when removing instances
       selftests/ftrace: Fix bashisms
       selftests/ftrace: Add test to remove instance with active event triggers
 
 Steven Rostedt (1):
       tracing: Move postpone selftests to core from early_initcall
 
 Steven Rostedt (VMware) (3):
       ftrace: Remove #ifdef from code and add clear_ftrace_function_probes() stub
       kprobes: Document how optimized kprobes are removed from module unload
       tracing: Make sure RCU is watching before calling a stack trace

       tracing/kprobes: Enforce kprobes teardown after testing

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
