    ftrace: Create set_ftrace_notrace_pid to not trace tasks · b3b1e6ed
    Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
    There's currently a way to select a task that should only be traced by
    functions, but there's no way to select a task not to be traced by the
    function tracer. Add a set_ftrace_notrace_pid file that acts the same as
    set_ftrace_pid (and is also affected by function-fork), but the task pids in
    this file will not be traced even if they are listed in the set_ftrace_pid
    file. This makes it easy for tools like trace-cmd to "hide" itself from the
    function tracer when it is recording other tasks.
