Also, please note that there are two patches that should be applied also,
not part of v28 version of the patchset:
  "trace-cmd: Fix plist allocation check in trace-msg.c"
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-trace-devel/patch/20210203165431.792152a4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
 "trace-cmd: Fix SEGFAULT when no tsync_protos are supplied"
   https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-trace-devel/patch/20210203171018.5b82a0a7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
