Subject: [PATCH tracing/kprobes 0/3] tracing/kprobes: kprobe-tracer updates

Hi Frederic,

Here is a few updates for kprobe-tracer which fix reported bugs and
is for catching up the latest ftrace.

 - Use dynamic percpu profiling buffer patch is for catching up
   the latest ftrace change.
 - Checking the result of create_event_dir() patch improves ftrace
   code pointed by Li Zefan (thanks!).
 - Add VIA instructions to x86 insn decoder patch fixes decoding
   bug reported by Ingo Molnar (thanks!).

Soon after this series, I'll send perf-kprobe patch series.

Thank you,

---
