Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.16-rc1-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing cleanups and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes three patches from Oleg Nesterov.  The first is a fix to
  a race condition that happens between enabling/disabling syscall
  tracepoints and new process creations (the check to go into the ptrace
  path for a process can be set when it shouldn't, or not set when it
  should).  Not a major bug but one that should be fixed and even
  applied to stable.

  The other two patches are cleanup/fixes that are not that critical,
  but for an -rc1 release would be nice to have.  They both deal with
  syscall tracepoints.

  It also includes a patch to introduce a new macro for the
  TRACE_EVENT() format called __field_struct().  Originally, __field()
  was used to record any variable into a trace event, but with the
  addition of setting the "is signed" attribute, the check causes
  anything but a primitive variable to fail to compile.  That is,
  structs and unions can't be used as they once were.  When the "is
  signed" check was introduce there were only primitive variables being
  recorded.  But that will change soon and it was reported that
  __field() causes build failures.

  To solve the __field() issue, __field_struct() is introduced to allow
  trace_events to be able to record complex types too"
