Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ftrace: Implement fs notification for preempt/irqsoff tracers
This patch implements the feature that the trace file, e.g.
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace will receive notifications through
the fsnotify framework when a new trace is available.
This makes it possible to implement a user space program that can,
with equal probability, obtain traces of latencies that occur
immediately after each other in spite of the fact that the
preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite mode.
Signed-off-by: Viktor Rosendahl <Viktor.Rosendahl@....de>
