Merge tag 'trace-v5.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Functional fixes:

   - Fix big endian conversion for arm64 in recordmcount processing

   - Fix timestamp corruption in ring buffer on discarding events

   - Fix memory leak in __create_synth_event()

   - Skip selftests if tracing is disabled as it will cause them to
     fail.

  Non-functional fixes:

   - Fix help text in Kconfig

   - Remove duplicate prototype for trace_empty()

   - Fix stale comment about the trace_event_call flags.

  Self test update:

   - Add more information to the validation output of when a corrupt
     timestamp is found in the ring buffer, and also trigger a warning
     to make sure that tests catch it"
