[PATCH 2/2 v2] tracing: Fix ftrace_boot_snapshot command line logic

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Apr 04 2023 - 22:23:55 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel command line ftrace_boot_snapshot by itself is supposed to
trigger a snapshot at the end of boot up of the main top level trace
buffer. A ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo will do the same for an instance called
foo that was created by trace_instance=foo,...

The logic was broken where if ftrace_boot_snapshot was by itself, it would
trigger a snapshot for all instances that had tracing enabled, regardless
if it asked for a snapshot or not.

When a snapshot is requested for a buffer, the buffer's
tr->allocated_snapshot is set to true. Use that to know if a trace buffer
wants a snapshot at boot up or not.

Since the top level buffer is part of the ftrace_trace_arrays list,
there's no reason to treat it differently than the other buffers. Just
iterate the list if ftrace_boot_snapshot was specified.
