Hi Gabriel,

The pull request looks mostly fine, but I'd like you to resend this
one in order to improve it a little more:

- You have based on commit 56e6a3499e14 ("Merge tag 'trace-v6.13-rc5'
  of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace"),
  which is not an -rc release. Please rebase this on 6.13-rc1
  instead (the earliest -rc release for the current merge cycle
  that works as a base) in order to get a better git history

- in the subject line, drop the date and instead add the kernel
  release you want this to be merged into. In particular the
  information I want is whether the contents are meant as bugfixes
  for the current release (and possible backports) or as
  improvements that are only needed in a future release.

The tag description ends up in the commit log above a list
of the commits in it, so don't repeat that list here. A summary
of the branch contents is always welcome, especially if it
contains some background details, but it should not
duplicate the things that are easy to see otherwise.
