Merge tag 'trace-4.1-tracefs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracefs from Steven Rostedt:
"This adds the new tracefs file system.
This has been in linux-next for more than one release, as I had it
ready for the 4.0 merge window, but a last minute thing that needed to
go into Linux first had to be done. That was that perf hard coded the
file system number when reading /sys/kernel/debugfs/tracing directory
making sure that the path had the debugfs mount # before it would
parse the tracing file. This broke other use cases of perf, and the
check is removed.
Now when mounting /sys/kernel/debug, tracefs is automatically mounted
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing such that old tools will still see that
path as expected. But now system admins can mount tracefs directly
and not need to mount debugfs, which can expose security issues. A
new directory is created when tracefs is configured such that system
admins can now mount it separately (/sys/kernel/tracing)"
* tag 'trace-4.1-tracefs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Have mkdir and rmdir be part of tracefs
tracefs: Add directory /sys/kernel/tracing
tracing: Automatically mount tracefs on debugfs/tracing
tracing: Convert the tracing facility over to use tracefs
tracefs: Add new tracefs file system
tracing: Create cmdline tracer options on tracing fs init
tracing: Only create tracer options files if directory exists
debugfs: Provide a file creation function that also takes an initial size
