Merge tag 'trace-v6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Make buffer_percent read/write.

   The buffer_percent file is how users can state how long to block on
   the tracing buffer depending on how much is in the buffer. When it
   hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the task waiting on the
   buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.

   This was not noticed because testing was done as root without
   SELinux, but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it
   without having CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.

 - The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the
   reasons for adding it was not implemented.

   That was to show what functions were not only touched, but had either
   a direct trampoline attached to it, or a kprobe or live kernel
   patching that can "hijack" the function to run a different function.
   The point is to know if there's functions in the kernel that may not
   be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can be used for debugging.

   TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too.
