Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Seems that Peter Zijlstra added a new check that is making old code scream nasty warnings: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 91 at kernel/sched/core.c:7253 __might_sleep+0x9a/0x378() do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffff8d79b511>] event_test_thread+0x48/0x93 Call Trace: __might_sleep+0x9a/0x378 down_read+0x26/0x98 exit_signals+0x27/0x1c2 do_exit+0x193/0x10bd kthread+0x156/0x156 ret_from_fork+0x7a/0xb0 These are triggered by some self tests that run at start up when configure in. Although the code is technically correct, they are a little sloppy and not very robust. They work now because it runs at boot up and the tests do not call anything that might trigger a spurious wake up. But that doesn't mean those tests wont change in the future. It's best to clean them now to make sure the tests used to test the internal workings of the system don't cause breakage themselves. This also quiets the warnings made by the new checks" * tag 'trace-3.18-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Clean up scheduling in trace_wakeup_test_thread() tracing: Robustify wait loop
