Cover letter [for-linus][PATCH 0/3] tracing: Some more fixes before pushing to 6.6
Tracing updates for 6.6:
- Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec() If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.
- Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.
- Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64 that represented several types was turned into a union to define the types properly.
