Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system
 events
Message-ID: <20231128122117.2276f4a7@gandalf.local.home>

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs
directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead,
allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems
that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not
individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating
instances for specific use cases quite bit.

The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This
parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of
event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the
trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored).

The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will
not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems
string.

Note that all dynamic events are still added as they are created by the
user.

Changes since RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231127174108.3c331c9c@gandalf.local.home/

- Record "systems" in the trace_array so that only events with the system
  name will be added. This includes modules that create events after the
  trace_array is created.

- Dynamic events had to be specified directly to still allow them to be
  created.
