[PATCH v16 07/23] tracing: Add hist trigger support for clearing a trace

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Mar 03 2016 - 13:55:31 EST


Allow users to append 'clear' to an existing trigger in order to have
the hash table cleared.

This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause/cont \
[ if filter] >> event/trigger

to this:

# echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause/cont/clear \
[ if filter] >> event/trigger
