Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Two more tracing fixes
- Have kprobes not use copy_from_user() to access kernel addresses,
because kprobes can legitimately poke at bad kernel memory, which
will fault. Copy from user code should never fault in kernel space.
Using probe_mem_read() can handle kernel address space faulting.
- Put back the entries counter in the tracing output that was
accidentally removed"
* tag 'trace-v5.0-rc4-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix number of entries in trace header
kprobe: Do not use uaccess functions to access kernel memory that can fault
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.
