Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.19-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace fix from Steven Rostedt: - Fix allocation accounting on boot up The ftrace records for each function that ftrace can attach to is done in a group of pages. At boot up, the number of pages are calculated and allocated. After that, the pages are filled with data. It may allocate more than needed due to some functions not being recorded (because they are unused weak functions), this too is recorded. After the data is filled in, a check is made to make sure the right number of pages were allocated. But this was off due to the assumption that the same number of entries fit per every page. Because the size of an entry does not evenly divide into PAGE_SIZE, there is a rounding error when a large number of pages is allocated to hold the events. This causes the check to fail and triggers a warning. Fix the accounting by finding out how many pages are actually allocated from the functions that allocate them and use that to see if all the pages allocated were used and the ones not used are properly freed. * tag 'ftrace-v6.19-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ftrace: Do not over-allocate ftrace memory
