Linus Torvalds 77d6465695 Merge tag 'trace-v4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull ftrace fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "There's been a few memory issues found with ftrace.

  One was simply a memory leak where not all was being freed that should
  have been in releasing a file pointer on set_graph_function.

  Then Thomas found that the ftrace trampolines were marked for
  read/write as well as execute. To shrink the possible attack surface,
  he added calls to set them to ro. Which also uncovered some other
  issues with freeing module allocated memory that had its permissions
  changed.

  Kprobes had a similar issue which is fixed and a selftest was added to
  trigger that issue again"

* tag 'trace-v4.12-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  x86/ftrace: Make sure that ftrace trampolines are not RWX
  x86/mm/ftrace: Do not bug in early boot on irqs_disabled in cpu_flush_range()
  selftests/ftrace: Add a testcase for many kprobe events
  kprobes/x86: Fix to set RWX bits correctly before releasing trampoline
  ftrace: Fix memory leak in ftrace_graph_release()

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.
