[PATCH v2 0/5] Add glob pattern matching support on trigger andkprobe-event

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue May 21 2013 - 22:22:03 EST


Hi,

Here is a series of ftrace/perf updates to support multiple
event select operation by glob-based wild cards.

I've ported strglobmatch from perf-tools (with recursive call
limitation) for this use. It is easier to use (just replacing
strcmp) but slower than current parser-based matching.
I don't care about the speed of matching because the all of
the matching which I've introduced in this series are done
on slow-path.

Changes in v2:
- Update the comment of patch [2/5] for explaining more
detail of the backgroud.

[BUGFIX] tracing: Returns -EBUSY when event_enable_func fails to get module
perf: Swap the parameters of strglobmatch
lib/string: Add a generic wildcard string matching function
tracing/kprobes: Allow user to delete kprobe events by wild cards
tracing: Support enable/disable multiple events trigger by wild cards
