Just to let you know. I accepted all three of your patches. I have one comment, (and changed this myself).

This line is 80 characters. For commit logs, we recommend no more than 76 characters (some people suggest 74). The reason is that a git show will add 4 characters, to each line of the log, and this will cause an overflow like this:
commit 68f00f512883fa7f1d04a7d88defff5e687bd98f Author: Vladislav Valtchev (VMware) <vladislav.valtchev@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jan 16 21:53:41 2018 +0200
trace-cmd: Make read_proc() to return int status via OUT arg
This patch changes both the implementation and the interface of read_proc() in trace-stack.c. First, it makes the function to read a string from the pro c file and then parse it as an integer using strtol(). Then, it makes the func tion to return the integer read from the proc file using the int *status OUT parameter, in order to make possible its return value to be used by the call er to check if the operation succeeded.
This new implementation relaxes the external contraints the function relies on, making it possible to be used by trace stat. The point is that 'stat' should not fail in case there is something wrong with the stack tracer. Only the call t o die() in case the file is empty has been left in this patch: it will be remo ved as well in a separate commit.
When editing a git log with the vim editor, I usually do :set tw=76
Thanks!
