Linus Torvalds 59c9ab3e8c tracing updates for v6.15
- Fix read out of bounds bug in tracing_splice_read_pipe()
 
   The size of the sub page being read can now be greater than a page. But
   the buffer used in tracing_splice_read_pipe() only allocates a page size.
   The data copied to the buffer is the amount in sub buffer which can
   overflow the buffer. Use min((size_t)trace_seq_used(&iter->seq), PAGE_SIZE)
   to limit the amount copied to the buffer to a max of PAGE_SIZE.
 
 - Fix the test for NULL from "!filter_hash" to "!*filter_hash"
 
   The add_next_hash() function checked for NULL at the wrong pointer level.
 
 - Do not use the array in trace_adjust_address() if there are no elements
 
   The trace_adjust_address() finds the offset of a module that was stored in
   the persistent buffer when reading the previous boot buffer to see if the
   address belongs to a module that was loaded in the previous boot. An array
   is created that matches currently loaded modules with previously loaded
   modules. The trace_adjust_address() uses that array to find the new offset
   of the address that's in the previous buffer.  But if no module was
   loaded, it ends up reading the last element in an array that was never
   allocated. Check if nr_entries is zero and exit out early if it is.
 
 - Remove nested lock of trace_event_sem in print_event_fields()
 
   The print_event_fields() function iterates over the ftrace_events list and
   requires the trace_event_sem semaphore held for read. But this function is
   always called with that semaphore held for read. Remove the taking of the
   semaphore and replace it with lockdep_assert_held_read(&trace_event_sem);

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 reStructuredText 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.
