Merge tag 'trace-v6.14-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix crash from bad histogram entry

   An error path in the histogram creation could leave an entry in a
   link list that gets freed. Then when a new entry is added it can
   cause a u-a-f bug. This is fixed by restructuring the code so that
   the histogram is consistent on failure and everything is cleaned up
   appropriately.

 - Fix fprobe self test

   The fprobe self test relies on no function being attached by ftrace.
   BPF programs can attach to functions via ftrace and systemd now does
   so. This causes those functions to appear in the enabled_functions
   list which holds all functions attached by ftrace. The selftest also
   uses that file to see if functions are being connected correctly. It
   counts the functions in the file, but if there's already functions in
   the file, it fails. Instead, add the number of functions in the file
   at the start of the test to all the calculations during the test.

 - Fix potential division by zero of the function profiler stddev

   The calculated divisor that calculates the standard deviation of the
   function times can overflow. If the overflow happens to land on zero,
   that can cause a division by zero. Check for zero from the
   calculation before doing the division.

   TODO: Catch when it ever overflows and report it accordingly. For
   now, just prevent the system from crashing.
