Merge tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are
   created

   Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it
   can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care
   about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the
   sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and
   only those events are exposed to this instance.

 - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than
   just the architecture page size.

   A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
   user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
   kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
   sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
   only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
   the next size that it will...
