    Merge tag 'trace-seq-file-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into for-next
    
    Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven:
      "I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the
      trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing.
    
      Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends
      as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function
      seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer
      is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away
      the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again
      to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function
      early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed.
    
      I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well.
      There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert
      seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces
      the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."
