Merge tag 'trace-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The main changes in this release include:

   - Add user space specific memory reading for kprobes

   - Allow kprobes to be executed earlier in boot

  The rest are mostly just various clean ups and small fixes"

--------------
Each probe argument follows below syntax.
[NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE]
[NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE][@user]
'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
'$vars' and '$params' special arguments are also available for NAME, '$vars' is expanded to the local variables (including function parameters) which can access at given probe point. '$params' is expanded to only the function parameters.
'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo (*). Currently, basic types (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), hexadecimal integers (x/x8/x16/x32/x64), signedness casting (u/s), "string" and bitfield are supported. (see TYPES for detail)
On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid.
"@user" is a special attribute which means the LOCALVAR will be treated as a user-space memory. This is only valid for kprobe event.
