Merge tag 'trace-v5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Updates for tracing and bootconfig:
- Add support for "bool" type in synthetic events
- Add per instance tracing for bootconfig
- Support perf-style return probe ("SYMBOL%return") in kprobes and
uprobes
- Allow for kprobes to be enabled earlier in boot up
- Added tracepoint helper function to allow testing if tracepoints
are enabled in headers
- Synthetic events can now have dynamic strings (variable length)
- Various fixes and cleanups"
