Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 0/5] Tracing fixes for 5.12:


Functional fixes:

 - Fix big endian conversion for arg64 in recordmcount processing

 - Fix timestamp corruption in ring buffer on discarding events

Non-functional fixes:

 - Fix help text working in Kconfig

 - Remove duplicate prototype for trace_empty()

Self test update:

 - Add more information to the validation output of when a
   corrupt timestamp is found in the ring buffer, and also
   trigger a warning to make sure that tests catch it.

Chen Jun (1):
      ftrace: Have recordmcount use w8 to read relp->r_info in arm64_is_fake_mcount

Rolf Eike Beer (1):
      tracing: Fix help text of TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK in Kconfig

Steven Rostedt (VMware) (2):
      ring-buffer: Force before_stamp and write_stamp to be different on discard
      ring-buffer: Add a little more information and a WARN when time stamp going backwards is detected

Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) (1):
      tracing: Remove duplicate declaration from trace.h
