Could you separate the testcase and document update from this patch,
since those are maintained in different trees?
And also, could you update <tracefs>/README so that the testcase can
ensure the kernel supports this feature? Since the testcase (kselftest)
will be used for stable kernels, it should check the kernel carefully
and exit with "unsupported" instead of failure.
Thank you,
