- Added new "bootconfig". Looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options. This has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers. Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup. Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line. - Created dynamic event creation. Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe events. - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer" - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer" Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer" - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code. - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly - Various other small fixes and clean ups -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCXjtAURQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qshOAQDzopQmvAVrrI6oogghr8JQA30Z2yqT i+Ld7vPWL2MV9wEA1S+zLGDSYrj8f/vsCq6BxRYT1ApO+YtmY6LTXiUejwg= =WNds -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added new "bootconfig".

The Linux kernel user's and administrator's guide
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been
|
|
added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or
|
|
organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent
|
|
document! With luck things will improve quickly over time.
|
|
|
|
This initial section contains overall information, including the README
|
|
file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters,
|
|
etc.

application developers. Documents covering various aspects of the kernel

|
ABI will be found here.

configure specific aspects of kernel behavior to your liking.
