Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] tracing: Two small fixes

Linus,

Two fixes for the tracing system.

 o When trace_printk() is used with a non constant format descriptor,
   it adds a NULL pointer into the trace format section, and the code
   isn't prepared to deal with it. This bug appeared by a change that
   was added in v3.5.

 o The ftracetest (selftests section) can't handle testing histograms
   when histograms are not configured. Currently it shows that they
   fail the test, when they should state that they are unsupported.
   This bug was added in the 4.7 merge window with the addition of
   the historgram code.
