Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tracing: Add 2 new funcs. for kernel access to Ftrace instances.

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.

Accessing the ftrace_trace_arrays requires taking the trace_types_lock.
It should also probably increment the ref counter too, and then
trace_array_put() needs to be called.

This prevents the trace array from being freed while something has
access to it.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for taking the time to review. Please find my comments inline.

Agree - Noted!

Also, adding a similar change for trace_array_create which also returns
a ptr to a newly created trace_array so will face the same issue.

Since trace_array_lookup and trace_array_create will be accompanied by a
trace_array_destroy once the use of the trace_array is done,
decrementing the reference ctr here.

Sending a v2 to address this.


Thanks,

Divya
