Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Functional fixes:
- Fix big endian conversion for arm64 in recordmcount processing
- Fix timestamp corruption in ring buffer on discarding events
- Fix memory leak in __create_synth_event()
- Skip selftests if tracing is disabled as it will cause them to
fail.
Non-functional fixes:
- Fix help text in Kconfig
- Remove duplicate prototype for trace_empty()
- Fix stale comment about the trace_event_call flags.
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"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
