Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Two more small fixes.
One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the
stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire
kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds"
error. As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from
parent functions. The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on
purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow.
The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of
executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'"
* tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing, kasan: Silence Kasan warning in check_stack of stack_tracer
ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids
