Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Testing a new trace event format, I triggered a bug by doing:
# modprobe trace-events-sample
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/enable
# rmmod trace-events-sample
This would cause an oops. The issue is that I added another trace
event sample that reused a reg function of another trace event to
create a thread to call the tracepoints. The problem was that the reg
function couldn't handle nested calls (reg; reg; unreg; unreg;) and
created two threads (instead of one) and only removed one on exit.
This isn't a critical bug as the bug is only in sample code. But
sample code should be free of known bugs to prevent others from
copying it. This is why this is also marked for stable"

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
