Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers
An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the
function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers
will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function
event. On reading of the trace, it will use BTF to print those
arguments. Most archs support up to 6 arguments (depending on the
complexity of the arguments) and those are printed.
If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the output
will end with " ... )".
Example of function graph tracer:
6) | dummy_xmit [dummy](skb = 0x8887c100, dev = 0x872ca000) {
6) | consume_skb(skb = 0x8887c100) {
6) | skb_release_head_state(skb = 0x8887c100) {
6) 0.178 us | sock_wfree(skb = 0x8887c100)
6) 0.627 us | }
- The rest of the changes are minor clean ups and fixes

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
