Merge tag 'trace-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "There's not much changes for the tracing system this release. Mostly
  small clean ups and fixes.

  The biggest change is to how bprintf works. bprintf is used by
  trace_printk() to just save the format and args of a printf call, and
  the formatting is done when the trace buffer is read. This is done to
  keep the formatting out of the fast path (this was recommended by
  you). The issue is when arguments are de-referenced.

  If a pointer is saved, and the format has something like "%*pbl", when
  the buffer is read, it will de-reference the argument then. The
  problem is if the data no longer exists. This can cause the kernel to
  oops.

  The fix for this was to make these de-reference pointes do the
  formatting at the time it is called (the fast path), as this
  guarantees that the data exists (and doesn't change later)"

* tag 'trace-v4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  vsprintf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers
  ftrace: Mark function tracer test functions noinline/noclone
  trace_uprobe: Display correct offset in uprobe_events
  tracing: Make sure the parsed string always terminates with '\0'
  tracing: Clear parser->idx if only spaces are read
  tracing: Detect the string nul character when parsing user input string
