Merge tag 'trace-v5.2-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing warning fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Make the GCC 9 warning for sub struct memset go away.

  GCC 9 now warns about calling memset() on partial structures when it
  goes across multiple fields. This adds a helper for the place in
  tracing that does this type of clearing of a structure"
