Linus Torvalds b7bc9e7d80 Oleg Nesterov has been working hard in closing all the holes that can
lead to race conditions between deleting an event and accessing an event
 debugfs file. This included a fix to the debugfs system (acked by
 Greg Kroah-Hartman). We think that all the holes have been patched and
 hopefully we don't find more. I haven't marked all of them for stable
 because I need to examine them more to figure out how far back some of
 the changes need to go.
 
 Along the way, some other fixes have been made. Alexander Z Lam fixed
 some logic where the wrong buffer was being modifed.
 
 Andrew Vagin found a possible corruption for machines that actually
 allocate cpumask, as a reference to one was being zeroed out by mistake.
 
 Dhaval Giani found a bad prototype when tracing is not configured.
 
 And I not only had some changes to help Oleg, but also finally fixed
 a long standing bug that Dave Jones and others have been hitting, where
 a module unload and reload can cause the function tracing accounting
 to get screwed up.
