[PATCH v7 00/10] tracing: Creation of event probe

[Steven Rostedt]

The first 5 patches of this series has had Masami's updates as well as his
acks, and will no longer be in future series, as I'll be pushing them into
my linux-next queue.

Patch 6 received an ack from Masami, but I updated it, by pulling more out
of the old patch 7 and into that patch, adding more of the enum logic into
the internal processing of the set_print_fmt() code. This way, it adds the
switch statement, such that the addition of the eprobe only needs to add a
new case.

I pulled out the code from the old patch 7 that converts the parameter for
process_fetch_insn() regs into a void pointer called rec. I figured that
should be a separate patch as it's more set up for the eprobe code, then
having to do with the eprobe code itself.

For the eprobe code, I incorporated more of Masami's comments as well as
found some minor bugs. Those updates were:

Masami's suggestions:

 - Remove "return" for void function calls in trace_event_put_ref()
 - Used bit mask over checking separate bits of flags one at a time.
 - Check for duplicate eprobes.

Fixes:

 - Check for NULL pointer for probe_cleanup as there was an error path that
   could call it with a NULL pointer.
 - Check on create that it's for an eprobe (check for 'e'). Was breaking
   updates to kprobes and uprobes that were added by dynamic_events.
 - Add paranoid check of by enum to print_fmt call.
 - Fixed error_log ^ index handling

Other updates:

 - Updated the README to include eprobes
 - Added clear_dynamic_events() to selftests, to remove them even when
   there's a dependency between them.
 - Added a selftest to test the eprobes.
