    tracing: add per-subsystem filtering · cfb180f3
    Tom Zanussi authored
    This patch adds per-subsystem filtering to the event tracing subsystem.
    
    It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each subsystem directory.  This file
    can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the
    current set of filters set for that subsystem.
    
    Basically what it does is propagate the filter down to each event
    contained in the subsystem.  If a particular event doesn't have a field
    with the name specified in the filter, it simply doesn't get set for
    that event.  You can verify whether or not the filter was set for a
    particular event by looking at the filter file for that event.
    
    As with per-event filters, compound expressions are supported, echoing
    '0' to the subsystem's filter file clears all filters in the subsystem,
    etc.
