Merge tag 'trace-v6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Runtime verification infrastructure

   This is the biggest change here. It introduces the runtime
   verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety critical
   systems.

   It allows for deterministic automata models to be inserted into the
   kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the information on
   these tracepoints will move the model from state to state.

   If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will
   then activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or
   even panic the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect
   and can recover from).

 - Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to
   be confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running
   (WWNR).

 - Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace
   several vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong.

 - eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is
   left off.

 - The rest is various cleanups and fixes.
