This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Fix userstacktrace option for instances to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-fix-userstacktrace-option-for-instances.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2020 16:36:16 -0500 Subject: tracing: Fix userstacktrace option for instances From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e upstream. When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)
