Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:
- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs
- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)
- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

- Just like some media documents, this file is dual licensed
with GPL and GFDL. As right now the GFDL SPDX definition is
bogus (as it doesn't tell anything about invariant parts),
let's not use SPDX here. Let's use, instead, the same test
as we have on media.
- Convert title to ReST format;
- use :field: markup;
- Proper mark literal blocks as such;
- Add it to trace/index.rst file.

- Have traceoff_on_warn disable tracing sooner (before prints)
- Write a message to the trace buffer that its being disabled when
disable_trace_on_warning() is set.
- Separate out synthetic events from histogram code to let it be used
by other parts of the kernel.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Add a new Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst file describing the
ftrace histogram low-level design, meant to help developers trying to
understand the internals when extending or making use of the hist
triggers for higher-level tools.
This documentation refers to the hist_debug files implemented by
'tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging' so
users wishing to try out the test examples here should make sure
CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New tracing features:
- The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and
reading as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace
file would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to
just disable writes to the ring buffer.
This came to a surprise to the BPF folks who complained about lost
events due to reading. This is no longer an issue. If someone wants
to keep the old disabling there's a new option "pause-on-trace"
that can be set.
- New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be
traced by the function tracer.
Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the function tracer only
trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the set_ftrace_notrace_pid
does the reverse.
- New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.
Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced. Note,
sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be traced if one of
the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that is allowed
to be traced.
Tracing related features:
- New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.
If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file is
searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.
- New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)
And other minor updates and fixes"

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These clean up and rework the PM QoS API, address a suspend-to-idle
wakeup regression on some ACPI-based platforms, clean up and extend a
few cpuidle drivers, update multiple cpufreq drivers and cpufreq
documentation, and fix a number of issues in devfreq and several other
things all over.
Specifics:
- Clean up and rework the PM QoS API to simplify the code and reduce
the size of it (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix a suspend-to-idle wakeup regression on Dell XPS13 9370 and
similar platforms where the USB plug/unplug events are handled by
the EC (Rafael Wysocki).
- CLean up the intel_idle and PSCI cpuidle drivers (Rafael Wysocki,
Ulf Hansson).
- Extend the haltpoll cpuidle driver so that it can be forced to run
on some systems where it refused to load (Maciej Szmigiero).
- Convert several cpufreq documents to the .rst format and move the
legacy driver documentation into one common file (Mauro Carvalho
Chehab, Rafael Wysocki).
- Update several cpufreq drivers:
* Extend and fix the imx-cpufreq-dt driver (Anson Huang).
* Improve the -EPROBE_DEFER handling and fix unwanted CPU
overclocking on i.MX6ULL in imx6q-cpufreq (Anson Huang,
Christoph Niedermaier).
* Add support for Krait based SoCs to the qcom driver (Ansuel
Smith).
* Add support for OPP_PLUS to ti-cpufreq (Lokesh Vutla).
* Add platform specific intermediate callbacks support to
cpufreq-dt and update the imx6q driver (Peng Fan).
* Simplify and consolidate some pieces of the intel_pstate
driver and update its documentation (Rafael Wysocki, Alex

The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then
reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But
this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it
actually triggered.
Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as
well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window.

Modify the definitions of the CPU latency QoS trace events to take
one argument (since PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY is always passed as the
pm_qos_class argument to them) and update the documentation of them
accordingly (while at it, make it explicitly mention CPU latency QoS
and relocate it after the device PM QoS trace events documentation).
The names and output format of the trace events do not change to
preserve user space compatibility.
No intentional functional impact.

- Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just

- A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a
variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in
particular).
- The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need
to load a lot of paper.
- A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add
Link: tags at commit time.
Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New tracing features:
- New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
function.
As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.
- New register_ftrace_direct().
As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
allow for security auditing.
- Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.
Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
users from writing over their data.
- New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
seq_buf usage.
- Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
tracers.
- Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
and friends.
- More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
- Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
system call trace events.
This along with small clean ups and fixes"
