Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: - While working on the ring buffer I noticed that the counter used for knowing where the end of the data is on a sub-buffer was not a full "int" but just 20 bits. It was masked out to 0xfffff. With the new code that allows the user to change the size of the sub-buffer, it is theoretically possible to ask for a size bigger than 2^20. If that happens, unexpected results may occur as there's no code checking if the counter overflowed the 20 bits of the write mask. There are other checks to make sure events fit in the sub-buffer, but if the sub-buffer itself is too big, that is not checked. Add a check in the resize of the sub-buffer to make sure that it never goes beyond the size of the counter that holds how much data is on it. * tag 'trace-v6.8-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Do not let subbuf be bigger than write mask
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 Restructured Text 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.
