Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v4.3-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Running tests on other changes, the system locked up due to lots of warnings. It was caused by the stack tracer triggering a warning about using rcu_dereference() when RCU was not watching. This can happen due to the fact that the stack tracer uses the function tracer to check each function, and there are functions that may be called and traced when RCU stopped watching. Namely when a function is called just before going idle or to userspace and after RCU stopped watching that current CPU. The first patch makes sure that RCU is watching when the stack tracer uses RCU. The second patch is to make sure that the stack tracer does not get called by functions in NMI, as it's not NMI safe" * tag 'trace-fixes-v4.3-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Do not allow stack_tracer to record stack in NMI tracing: Have stack tracer force RCU to be watching
