Subject: [GIT PULL v2] tracing: A couple of minor fixes


Linus,

Two minor fixes:

 - A race in perf trace initialization (missing mutexes)

 - Minor fix to represent gfp_t in synthetic events as properly signed


Please pull the latest trace-v5.4-rc3-2 tree, which can be found at:


  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace.git
trace-v5.4-rc3-2

Prateek Sood (1):
      tracing: Fix race in perf_trace_buf initialization

Zhengjun Xing (1):
      tracing: Fix "gfp_t" format for synthetic events
