[PATCH 5/5] tracing: New functions for kernel access to Ftrace instances

From: Divya Indi
Date: Wed Aug 14 2019 - 13:56:18 EST


Adding 2 new functions -
1) trace_array_lookup : Look up and return a trace array, given its
name.
2) trace_array_set_clr_event : Enable/disable event recording to the
given trace array.

NOTE: trace_array_lookup returns a trace array and also increments the
reference counter associated with the returned trace array. Make sure to
call trace_array_put() once the use is done so that the instance can be
removed at a later time.

Example use:

tr = trace_array_lookup("foo-bar");
if (!tr)
tr = trace_array_create("foo-bar");
// Log to tr
// Enable/disable events to tr
trace_array_set_clr_event(tr, _THIS_IP,"system","event",1);

// Done using tr
trace_array_put(tr);
..

Also, use trace_array_set_clr_event to enable/disable events to a trace array.
So now we no longer need to have ftrace_set_clr_event as an exported
API.
