Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Minor last minute fixes:

   - Fix a very tight race between the ring buffer readers and resizing
     the ring buffer

   - Correct some stale comments in the ring buffer code

   - Fix kernel-doc in the rv code

   - Add a MODULE_DESCRIPTION to preemptirq_delay_test"

* tag 'trace-fixes-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
  rv: Update rv_en(dis)able_monitor doc to match kernel-doc
  tracing: Add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to preemptirq_delay_test
  ring-buffer: Fix a race between readers and resize checks
  ring-buffer: Correct stale comments related to non-consuming readers
