Merge tag 'trace-v5.19-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fixes and minor clean ups for tracing:

   - Fix memory leak by reverting what was thought to be a double free.

     A static tool had gave a false positive that a double free was
     possible in the error path, but it was actually a different
     location that confused the static analyzer (and those of us that
     reviewed it).

   - Move use of static buffers by ftrace_dump() to a location that can
     be used by kgdb's ftdump(), as it needs it for the same reasons.

   - Clarify in the Kconfig description that function tracing has
     negligible impact on x86, but may have a bit bigger impact on other
     architectures.

   - Remove unnecessary extra semicolon in trace event.

   - Make a local variable static that is used in the fprobes sample

   - Use KSYM_NAME_LEN for length of function in kprobe sample and get
     rid of unneeded macro for the same purpose"

tty: fix up iterate_tty_read() EOVERFLOW handling

When I converted the tty_ldisc_ops 'read()' function to take a kernel
pointer, I was a bit too aggressive about the ldisc returning EOVERFLOW.

Yes, we want to have EOVERFLOW override any partially read data (because
the whole point is that the buffer was too small for the whole packet,
and we don't want to see partial packets), but it shouldn't override a
previous EFAULT.

And in fact, it really is just EOVERFLOW that is special and should
throw away any partially read data, not "any error". Admittedly
EOVERFLOW is currently the only one that can happen for a continuation
read - and if the first read iteration returns an error we won't have this issue.

So this is more of a technicality, but let's just make the intent very
explicit, and re-organize the error handling a bit so that this is all
clearer.

fs/proc: simplify and clarify get_mm_cmdline() function

We have some very odd semantics for reading the command line through
/proc, because we allow people to rewrite their own command line pretty
much at will, and things get positively funky when you extend your
command line past the point that used to be the end of the command line,
and is now in the environment variable area.

But our weird semantics doesn't mean that we should write weird and
complex code to handle them.

So re-write get_mm_cmdline() to be much simpler, and much more explicit
about what it is actually doing and why. And avoid the extra check for
"is there a NUL character at the end of the command line where I expect
one to be", by simply making the NUL character handling be part of the
normal "once you hit the end of the command line, stop at the first NUL
character" logic.

It's quite possible that we should stop the crazy "walk into
environment" entirely, but happily it's not really the usual case.

NOTE! We tried to really simplify and limit our odd cmdline parsing some
time ago, but people complained. See commit c2c0bb44620d ("proc: fix
PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline") for details about why we have
this complexity.

Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew Morton) into next

Merge more updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Most of the rest of MM.

   This includes "mark remap_file_pages syscall as deprecated" but the
   actual "replace remap_file_pages syscall with emulation" is held
   back. I guess we'll need to work out when to pull the trigger on
   that one.

 - various minor cleanups to obscure filesystems

 - the drivers/rtc queue

 - hfsplus updates

 - ufs, hpfs, fatfs, affs, reiserfs

 - Documentation/

 - signals

 - procfs

 - cpu hotplug

 - lib/idr.c

 - rapidio

 - sysctl

 - ipc updates
