Reset the last-boot ring buffers when read() reads out all cpu buffers through trace_pipe/trace_pipe_raw. This prevents ftrace to unwind ring buffer read pointer next boot. Note that this resets only when all per-cpu buffers are empty, and read via read(2) syscall. For example, if you read only one of the per-cpu trace_pipe, it does not reset it. Also, reading buffer by splice(2) syscall does not reset because some data in the reader (the last) page.

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 reStructuredText 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.
