Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Minor last minute fixes: - Fix a very tight race between the ring buffer readers and resizing the ring buffer - Correct some stale comments in the ring buffer code - Fix kernel-doc in the rv code - Add a MODULE_DESCRIPTION to preemptirq_delay_test" * tag 'trace-fixes-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: rv: Update rv_en(dis)able_monitor doc to match kernel-doc tracing: Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to preemptirq_delay_test ring-buffer: Fix a race between readers and resize checks ring-buffer: Correct stale comments related to non-consuming readers
