Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "In the past, I've had lots of reports about trace events not working. Developers would say they put a trace_printk() before and after the trace event but when they enable it (and the trace event said it was enabled) they would see the trace_printks but not the trace event. I was not able to reproduce this, but that's because I wasn't looking at the right location. Recently, another bug came up that showed the issue. If your kernel supports signed modules but allows for non-signed modules to be loaded, then when one is, the kernel will silently set the MODULE_FORCED taint on the module. Although, this taint happens without the need for insmod --force or anything of the kind, it labels the module with that taint anyway. If this tainted module has tracepoints, the tracepoints will be ignored because of the MODULE_FORCED taint. But no error message will be displayed. Worse yet, the event infrastructure will still be created letting users enable the trace event represented by the tracepoint, although that event will never actually be enabled. This is because the tracepoint infrastructure allows for non-existing tracepoints to be enabled for new modules to arrive and have their tracepoints set. Although there are several things wrong with the above, this change only addresses the creation of the trace event files for tracepoints that are not created when a module is loaded and is tainted. This change will print an error message about the module being tainted and not the trace events will not be created, and it does not create the trace event infrastructure" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.14-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Do not add event files for modules that fail tracepoints
