Merge tag 'trace-fixes-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "The first two patches fix the debugfs README file to reflect better the new features added to 3.14. The third patch is a minor bugfix to the trace_puts() functions that will crash the system if a developer adds one before the tracing system is setup. It also affects trace_printk() if it has no arguments, as the code will convert it to a trace_puts() as well. Note, this bug will not affect unmodified kernels, as trace_printk() and trace_puts() should only be used by developers for testing" * tag 'trace-fixes-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Check if tracing is enabled in trace_puts() tracing: Fix formatting of trace README file tracing/README: Add event file usage to tracing mini-HOWTO
