Merge tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are
   created

   Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it
   can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care
   about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the
   sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and
   only those events are exposed to this instance.

 - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than
   just the architecture page size.

   A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
   user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
   kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
   sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
   only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
   the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in
   10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is
   the next available size that can hold 10K pages.

 - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring
   buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a
   debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of
   the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information
   to this dump that helps with debugging.

 - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is
   enabled)

 - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.

 - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just
   under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).

 - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can
   hold.

 - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has
   been removed.

 - More selftests were added.

 - Some code clean ups as well.

- * On 32 bit machines, local64_t is very expensive. As the ring
- * buffer doesn't need all the features of a true 64 bit atomic,
- * on 32 bit, it uses these functions (64 still uses local64_t).
- *
- * For the ring buffer, 64 bit required operations for the time is
- * the following:
- *
- *  - Reads may fail if it interrupted a modification of the time stamp.
- *      It will succeed if it did not interrupt another write even if
- *      the read itself is interrupted by a write.
- *      It returns whether it was successful or not.
- *
- *  - Writes always succeed and will overwrite other writes and writes
- *      that were done by events interrupting the current write.
- *
- *  - A write followed by a read of the same time stamp will always succeed,
- *      but may not contain the same value.
- *
- *  - A cmpxchg will fail if it interrupted another write or cmpxchg.
- *      Other than that, it acts like a normal cmpxchg.
- *
- * The 60 bit time stamp is broken up by 30 bits in a top and bottom half
- *  (bottom being the least significant 30 bits of the 60 bit time stamp).
- *
- * The two most significant bits of each half holds a 2 bit counter (0-3).
- * Each update will increment this counter by one.
- * When reading the top and bottom, if the two counter bits match then the
- *  top and bottom together make a valid 60 bit number.
