[PATCH 14/15] tracing: Recover trace events from kexec handover

From: Alexander Graf
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 19:08:05 EST


This patch implements all logic necessary to match a new trace event
that we add against preserved trace events from kho. If we find a match,
we give the new trace event the old event's identifier. That way, trace
read-outs are able to make sense of buffer contents again because the
parsing code for events looks at the same identifiers.
