Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"I found two minor bugs while doing development on the ring buffer
code.
The first is something that's been there since its creation. If a
reader reads a page out of the ring buffer before there's any events
on it, it can get an out of date timestamp for that event. It may be
off by a few microseconds, more if the first event gets discarded.
The fix was to only update the reader time stamp when it actually sees
an event on the page, instead of just reading the timestamp from the
page even if it has no events on it. That timestamp is still volatile
until an event is present.
The second bug is more recent. Instead of passing around parameters a
descriptor was made and the parameters are passed via a single
descriptor. This simplified the code a bit. But there was one place
that expected the parameter to be passed by value not reference (which
a descriptor now does). And it added to the length of the event,
which may be ignored later, but the length should not have been
increased. The only real problem with this bug is that it may
allocate more than was needed for the event"
