Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 0/2] tracing: Fixes for 6-6-rc2


Tracing fixes for 6.6-rc2:

- Fix the "bytes" output of the per_cpu stat file
  The tracefs/per_cpu/cpu*/stats "bytes" was giving bogus values as the
  accounting was not accurate. It is suppose to show how many used bytes are
  still in the ring buffer, but even when the ring buffer was empty it would
  still show there were bytes used.

- Fix a bug in eventfs where reading a dynamic event directory (open) and then
  creating a dynamic event that goes into that diretory screws up the accounting.
  On close, the newly created event dentry will get a "dput" without ever having
  a "dget" done for it. The fix is to allocate an array on dir open to save what
  dentries were actually "dget" on, and what ones to "dput" on close.
