Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing: Fix of mismatch section


Linus,

Tracing: Fix mismatch section of adding early trace events

- Fixes the issue of a mismatch section that was missed due to gcc
  inlining the offending function, while clang did not (and reported
  the issue).

    tracing: Remove __init from __trace_early_add_new_event()
    
    The commit 720dee53ad8d ("tracing/boot: Initialize per-instance event
    list in early boot") removes __init from __trace_early_add_events()
    but __trace_early_add_new_event() still has __init and will cause a
    section mismatch.
    
    Remove __init from __trace_early_add_new_event() as same as
    __trace_early_add_events().
