Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the tip tree got a conflict in:

  Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt

between commit:

  1f198e22bc3a ("trace doc: convert trace/ftrace.txt to rst format")

from the jc_docs tree and commit:

  92af4dcb4e1c ("tracing: Unify the "boot" and "mono" tracing clocks")

from the tip tree.

I fixed it up (the former moved the file, so I added the following patch)
and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next
is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your
upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging.  You may
also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting
tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts.
