Merge tag 'trace-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
   that interrupted other ring buffer events.

   Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
   event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all
   have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted.

   Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
   and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
   while interrupting another event.

 - Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
   default config, but then add options to override the default.

 - A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the
   ftrace PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to
   be backported.

 - Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.
