Subject: [PATCH 1/3] tracing/ftrace: implement a set_flag callback for tracers
Impact: give a way to send specific messages to tracers
The current implementation of tracing uses some flags to control the output
of general tracers. But we have no way to implement custom flags handling for
a specific tracer.
This patch proposes a new callback for the struct tracer which called set_flag
and a structure that represents a 32 bits variable flag.
A tracer can implement a struct tracer_flags on which it puts the initial value
of the flag integer. Than it can place a range of flags with their name and their
flag mask on the flag integer. The structure that implement a single flag is called
struct tracer_opt.
These custom flags will be available through the trace_options file like the general
tracing flags. Changing their value is done like the other general flags.
For example if you have a flag that calls "foo", you can activate it by writing
"foo" or "nofoo" on trace_options.
Note that the set_flag callback is optional and is only needed if you want the flags
changing to be signaled to your tracer and let it to accept or refuse their assignment.
