Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix buffer overflow in trace event filter. It was reported that if an trace event was larger than a page and was filtered, that it caused memory corruption. The reason is that filtered events first go into a buffer to test the filter before being written into the ring buffer. Unfortunately, this write did not check the size" * tag 'trace-v5.11-rc7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Check length before giving out the filter buffer
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.
