[for-next][PATCH 08/12] tracing: Add needs_rec flag to event triggers

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Mar 09 2016 - 09:48:13 EST


From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new needs_rec flag for triggers that require unconditional
access to trace records in order to function.

Normally a trigger requires access to the contents of a trace record
only if it has a filter associated with it (since filters need the
contents of a record in order to make a filtering decision). Some
types of triggers, such as 'hist' triggers, require access to trace
record contents independent of the presence of filters, so add a new
flag for those triggers.
