Linus Torvalds 22402cd0af Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes. Some of them have
stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge window
 opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through all my tests
 and they were in linux-next for a few days.
 
 Features added this release:
 ----------------------------
 
  o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
    modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
 
  o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
    active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
    options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
    even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
    when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
 
  o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
    options are global)
 
  o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
    all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
    this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
    pids.
