Merge tag 'trace-v4.7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull motr tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Three more changes. - I forgot that I had another selftest to stress test the ftrace instance creation. It was actually suppose to go into the 4.6 merge window, but I never committed it. I almost forgot about it again, but noticed it was missing from your tree. - Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that lock is never taken for write in irq context. - Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one. As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that call). One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to keep gcc from optimizing too much" * tag 'trace-v4.7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lock ftracetest: Add instance created, delete, read and enable event test
