Merge tag 'trace-v5.2-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This includes three fixes: - Fix a deadlock from a previous fix to keep module loading and function tracing text modifications from stepping on each other (this has a few patches to help document the issue in comments) - Fix a crash when the snapshot buffer gets out of sync with the main ring buffer - Fix a memory leak when reading the memory logs" * tag 'trace-v5.2-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace/x86: Anotate text_mutex split between ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process() and ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() tracing/snapshot: Resize spare buffer if size changed tracing: Fix memory leak in tracing_err_log_open() ftrace/x86: Add a comment to why we take text_mutex in ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare() ftrace/x86: Remove possible deadlock between register_kprobe() and ftrace_run_update_code()
