Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing: Test the 'Do not trace this pid' case in create
 event



Linus,

tracing: Fix the fix of pid filtering

- The setting of the pid filtering flag tested the "trace only this
  pid" case twice, and ignored the "trace everything but this pid" case.

  Note, the 5.15 kernel does things a little differently due to the new
  sparse pid mask introduced in 5.16, and as the bug was discovered
  running the 5.15 kernel, and the first fix was initially done for
  that kernel, that fix handled both cases (only pid and all but pid),
  but the forward port to 5.16 created this bug.

  This is because my presentation I'm writing is using the 5.15 kernel.

    tracing: Test the 'Do not trace this pid' case in create event
    
    When creating a new event (via a module, kprobe, eprobe, etc), the
    descriptors that are created must add flags for pid filtering if an
    instance has pid filtering enabled, as the flags are used at the time the
    event is executed to know if pid filtering should be done or not.
    
    The "Only trace this pid" case was added, but a cut and paste error made
    that case checked twice, instead of checking the "Trace all but this pid"
    case.
