Hi Linus,

Please pull this kselftest fixes update for Linux 6.18-rc6

Fixes event-filter-function.tc tracing test failure caused when a first
run to sample events triggers kmem_cache_free which interferes with the
rest of the test. Fix this calling sample_events twice to eliminate the
kmem_cache_free related noise from the sampling.

diff is attached.

thanks,
-- Shuah
