[for-linus][PATCH 0/3] tracing: Fixes for v6.7-rc7

tracing fixes for v6.7-rc7:

- Fix readers on blocked on the ring buffer when buffer_percent is
100%. They are supposed to wake up when the buffer is full, but
because the sub-buffer that the writer is on is never considered
"dirty" in the calculation, dirty pages will never equal nr_page.
Add +1 to the dirty count in order to count for the sub-buffer that
the writer is on.

- When a reader is blocked on the "snapshot_raw" file, it is to be
woken up when a snapshot is done and be able to read the snapshot
buffer. But because the snapshot swaps the buffers (the main one
with the snapshot one), and the snapshot reader is waiting on the
old snapshot buffer, it was not woken up (because it is now on
the main buffer after the swap). Worse yet, when it reads the buffer
after a snapshot, it's not reading the snapshot buffer, it's reading
the live active main buffer.

Fix this by forcing a wakeup of all readers on the snapshot buffer when
a new snapshot happens, and then update the buffer that the reader
is reading to be back on the snapshot buffer.

- Fix the modification of the direct_function hash. There was a race
when new functions were added to the direct_function hash as when
it moved function entries from the old hash to the new one, a direct
function trace could be hit and not see its entry.

This is fixed by allocating the new hash, copy all the old entries
onto it as well as the new entries, and then use rcu_assign_pointer()
to update the new direct_function hash with it.

This also fixes a memory leak in that code.
