Merge tag 'trace-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove unused ftrace_direct_funcs variables

 - Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference race in eventfs

 - Update do_div() usage in trace event benchmark test

 - Speedup direct function registration with asynchronous RCU callback.

   The synchronization was done in the registration code and this caused
   delays when registering direct callbacks. Move the freeing to a
   call_rcu() that will prevent delaying of the registering.

 - Replace simple_strtoul() usage with kstrtoul()

* tag 'trace-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:

  tracing: Improve benchmark test performance by using do_div()
  ftrace: Use asynchronous grace period for register_ftrace_direct()
  ftrace: Replaces simple_strtoul in ftrace
