Pull tracing user-event updates from Steven Rostedt: - Minor update to the user_events interface The ABI of creating a user event states that the fields are separated by semicolons, and spaces should be ignored. But the parsing expected at least one space to be there (which was incorrect). Fix the reading of the string to handle fields separated by semicolons but no space between them. This does extend the API sightly as now "field;field" will now be parsed and not cause an error. But it should not cause any regressions as no logic should expect it to fail. Note, that the logic that parses the event fields to create the trace_event works with no spaces after the semi-colon. It is the logic that tests against existing events that is inconsistent. This causes registering an event without using spaces to succeed if it doesn't exist, but makes the same call that tries to register to the same event, but doesn't use spaces, fail. * tag 'trace-user-events-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: selftests/user_events: Add non-spacing separator check tracing/user_events: Fix non-spaced field matching
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.
