[RFC PATCH 4/5] tracing: Unify the logic for function tracing options

From: Yordan Karadzhov (VMware)
Date: Thu Mar 04 2021 - 04:04:44 EST


Currently the logic for dealing with the options for function tracing
has two different implementations. One is used when we set the flags
(in "static int func_set_flag()") and another used when we initialize
the tracer (in "static int function_trace_init()"). Those two
implementations are meant to do essentially the same thing and they
are both not very convenient for adding new options. In this patch
we add a helper function that provides a single implementation of
the logic for dealing with the options and we make it such that new
options can be easily added.
