Linus Torvalds 58ca241587 Tracing updates for 5.15:
- Simplifying the Kconfig use of FTRACE and TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
 
  - bootconfig now can start histograms
 
  - bootconfig supports group/all enabling
 
  - histograms now can put values in linear size buckets
 
  - execnames can be passed to synthetic events
 
  - Introduction of "event probes" that attach to other events and
    can retrieve data from pointers of fields, or record fields
    as different types (a pointer to a string as a string instead
    of just a hex number)
 
  - Various fixes and clean ups

README

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.
