From: Sung-hun Kim <sfoon.kim@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit e400be674a1a40e9dcb2e95f84d6c1fd2d88f31d upstream. Since the commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops") is applied to the kernel, splice() and sendfile() calls on the trace file (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing /trace) return EINVAL. This patch restores these system calls by initializing splice_read in file_operations of the trace file. This patch only enables such functionalities for the read case.
