Here's an example using onmatch() actions.  The first -EEXIST shouldn't
occur because the onmatch() is different in the second wakeup_latency()
param.  The second -EEXIST shouldn't occur because it's a different
action (in this case, it doesn't have an action, so shouldn't be seen
as being the same and therefore rejected).

In the after case, both are correctly accepted (and trying to add one of
them again returns -EEXIST as it should).

before:

  # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup).wakeup_latency(sched.sched_switch.$wakeup_lat,next_pid) if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup).wakeup_latency(sched.sched_switch.$wakeup_lat,prev_pid) if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
-su: echo: write error: File exists
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
-su: echo: write error: File exists

after:

  # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
  # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0 if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup).wakeup_latency(sched.sched_switch.$wakeup_lat,next_pid) if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup).wakeup_latency(sched.sched_switch.$wakeup_lat,prev_pid) if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
  # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

Thanks,
