Merge tag 'trace-fixes-v3.15-rc4-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "This contains two fixes. The first is a long standing bug that causes bogus data to show up in the refcnt field of the module_refcnt tracepoint. It was introduced by a merge conflict resolution back in 2.6.35-rc days. The result should be 'refcnt = incs - decs', but instead it did 'refcnt = incs + decs'. The second fix is to a bug that was introduced in this merge window that allowed for a tracepoint funcs pointer to be used after it was freed. Moving the location of where the probes are released solved the problem" * tag 'trace-fixes-v3.15-rc4-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free trace: module: Maintain a valid user count
