[PATCH 0/5] tools/bootconfig: Fix tracing script filters and histogram dependencies

[Eduardo Mucelli Rezende Oliveira]

Hi Masami,

Thanks for the reviews and for picking up the previous fixes. Here are
five more script fixes, based on bootconfig/core as you suggested.

They address:
- The documented ftrace.notraces setting being ignored by bconf2ftrace.sh.
- Single quotes in event actions producing invalid exported bootconfig.
- Literal filter text being mistaken for histogram variable syntax.
- Valid histogram dependency chains exceeding the exporter's retry limit.
- Helper key lookups matching unrelated bootconfig keys.

The action-quoting patch follows up on the trigger-filter fix you picked
up. It uses the same warning approach for unrepresentable values that
you suggested for event filters. The histogram scan uses POSIX sed.

I tested the conversion and export fixes in temporary tracefs instances
on my Ubuntu machine, running kernel 7.0.0-38-generic, with recording
disabled. The tests cover each relevant step and the combined series.
The helper fix has focused checks, and all 81 combined fixture checks
also pass with POSIX sed.

Feedback is welcome.

Thanks,
Eduardo
