Merge tag 'trace-v6.8-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace...

Pull tracing and eventfs fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix the return code for ring_buffer_poll_wait()

   It was returing a -EINVAL instead of EPOLLERR.

 - Zero out the tracefs_inode so that all fields are initialized.

   The ti->private could have had stale data, but instead of just
   initializing it to NULL, clear out the entire structure when it is
   allocated.

 - Fix a crash in timerlat

   The hrtimer was initialized at read and not open, but is canceled at
   close. If the file was opened and never read the close will pass a
   NULL pointer to hrtime_cancel().

 - Rewrite of eventfs.

   Linus wrote a patch series to remove the dentry references in the
   eventfs_inode and to use ref counting and more of proper VFS
   interfaces to make it work.

 - Add warning to put_ei() if ei is not set to free. That means
   something is about to free it when it shouldn't.

 - Restructure the eventfs_inode to make it more compact, and remove the
   unused llist field.

 - Remove the fsnotify*() funtions for when the inodes were being
   created in the lookup code. It doesn't make sense to notify about
   creation just because something is being looked up.

 - The inode hard link count was not accurate.

   It was being updated when a file was looked up. The inodes of
   directories were updating their parent inode hard link count every
   time the inode was created. That means if memory reclaim cleaned a
   stale directory inode and the inode was lookup up again, it would
   increment the parent inode again as well. Al Viro said to just have
   all eventfs directories have a hard link count of 1. That tells user
   space not to trust it.
