Steven Rostedt (Google) 0dfc852b6f eventfs: Have event files and directories default to parent uid and gid
Dongliang reported:

  I found that in the latest version, the nodes of tracefs have been
  changed to dynamically created.

  This has caused me to encounter a problem where the gid I specified in
  the mounting parameters cannot apply to all files, as in the following
  situation:

  /data/tmp/events # mount | grep tracefs
  tracefs on /data/tmp type tracefs (rw,seclabel,relatime,gid=3012)

  gid 3012 = readtracefs

  /data/tmp # ls -lh
  total 0
  -r--r-----   1 root readtracefs 0 1970-01-01 08:00 README
  -r--r-----   1 root readtracefs 0 1970-01-01 08:00 available_events

  ums9621_1h10:/data/tmp/events # ls -lh
  total 0
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2023-12-19 00:56 alarmtimer
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2023-12-19 00:56 asoc

  It will prevent certain applications from accessing tracefs properly, I
  try to avoid this issue by making the following modifications.

To fix this, have the files created default to taking the ownership of
the parent dentry unless the ownership was previously set by the user.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
