Merge tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracking updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes. Some of them have
stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge
window opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through
all my tests and they were in linux-next for a few days.
Features added this release:
----------------------------
- Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
- Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
tracer options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the
options/ directory even when the tracer is not active. Although
they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
trace_options file.
- Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
specific options are global)
- New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file,
then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
part of this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
and the wakee pids"
