[PATCH v4 01/13] tracing: split out filter initialization and clean up.

From: Will Drewry
Date: Fri Jun 03 2011 - 16:32:26 EST


Moves the perf-specific profile event allocation and freeing code into
kernel/perf_event.c where it is called from and two symbols are exported
via ftrace_event.h for instantiating struct event_filters without
requiring a change to the core tracing code.

The change allows globally registered ftrace events to be used in
event_filter structs. perf is the current consumer, but a possible
future consumer is a system call filtering using the secure computing
hooks (and the existing syscalls subsystem events).
