Merge branch 'tracing-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'tracing-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (105 commits)
  ring-buffer: only enable ring_buffer_swap_cpu when needed
  ring-buffer: check for swapped buffers in start of committing
  tracing: report error in trace if we fail to swap latency buffer
  tracing: add trace_array_printk for internal tracers to use
  tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
  tracing: make tracing_reset safe for external use
  tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces
  tracing: Remove mentioning of legacy latency_trace file from documentation
  tracing/filters: Defer pred allocation, fix memory leak
  tracing: remove users of tracing_reset
  tracing: disable buffers and synchronize_sched before resetting
  tracing: disable update max tracer while reading trace
  tracing: print out start and stop in latency traces
  ring-buffer: disable all cpu buffers when one finds a problem
  ring-buffer: do not count discarded events
  ring-buffer: remove ring_buffer_event_discard
  ring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read crossing pages
  ring-buffer: remove unnecessary cpu_relax
  ring-buffer: do not swap buffers during a commit
  ring-buffer: do not reset while in a commit
