Merge tag 'trace-v5.14-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Fix deadloop in ring buffer because of using stale "read" variable

 - Fix synthetic event use of field_pos as boolean and not an index

 - Fixed histogram special var "cpu" overriding event fields called
   "cpu"

 - Cleaned up error prone logic in alloc_synth_event()

 - Removed call to synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() when not needed

 - Removed redundant initialization of a local variable "ret"

 - Fixed kernel crash when updating tracepoint callbacks of different
   priorities.

* tag 'trace-v5.14-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  tracepoints: Update static_call before tp_funcs when adding a tracepoint
  ftrace: Remove redundant initialization of variable ret
  ftrace: Avoid synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() call when not necessary
  tracing: Clean up alloc_synth_event()
  tracing/histogram: Rename "cpu" to "common_cpu"
  tracing: Synthetic event field_pos is an index not a boolean
  tracing: Fix bug in rb_per_cpu_empty() that might cause deadloop.
