[-- Attachment #1: 0002-tracing-Fix-formatting-of-trace-README-file.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 9262 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Fix the formatting of the README file in the trace debugfs to fit in
an 80 character window.

Also add a comment about the event trigger counter with regards to
traceon and traceoff.
