Merge tag 'trace-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

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"
