Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

   When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory
   /sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount
   tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in
   /sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well.

   All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen
   in two different locations has lead to various issues and
   inconsistencies.

   The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for
   this single user.

   It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing
   the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was
   created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing
   facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel.
   Using tracefs should now be more robust.

   A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is
   default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This
   config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to
   do so.

   When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the
   following printk is triggerd:

     pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n");

   This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts.

 - Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters

   The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number
   of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context
   can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to
   free them instead.

 - Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code

   Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time
   ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what
   memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between
   different variables. There was no synchronization here making them
   pointless.

 - Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format

   When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
   and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with
   the following:

     field:const char * filename;      offset:24;      size:8; signed:0;

   Turns into:

     field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename;      offset:24;      size:8; signed:0;

   This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings.

 - Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS

   Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another
   probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no
   config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate
   entity.

   It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has
   dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API.

 - Add eprobe documentation

   When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to
   describe them. This needs to be rectified.

 - Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()

 - Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask

 - Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event

   DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment
   above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually.

 - Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag

   The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling
   of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this
   approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users
   required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a
   ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non
   zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good
   enough.

 - Fix typo in comment
