…nel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "This includes three minor fixes.

    - Have writing to trace file clear the irqsoff (and friends) tracer

    - trace_pipe behavior for instance buffers was different than top
      buffer

    - Show a message of why mmiotrace doesn't start from commandline"

* tag 'trace-v4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
  tracing: Fix trace_pipe behavior for instance traces
  tracing: Ignore mmiotrace from kernel commandline
  tracing: Erase irqsoff trace with empty write
