Merge tag 'trace-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New:

   - The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools
     directory.

   - Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~
     "match-string"

   - eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.

   - trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads
     to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing
     user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then
     can revert the change if need be.

   - New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.

   - Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time
     instead of at bootup.

  Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:

   - Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but
     the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the
     descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user
     defined events.

   - Some simplification of event trigger code.

   - Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder
     other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined
     events.

  And other small fixes and cleanups"
