Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix the histogram logic from possibly crashing the kernel Working on the histogram code, I found that if you dereference a char pointer in a trace event that happens to point to user space, it can crash the kernel, as it does no checks of that pointer. I have code coming that will do this better, so just remove this ability to treat character pointers in trace events as stings in the histogram" * tag 'trace-v5.14-5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Do not reference char * as a string in histograms
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.
