    tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer · f306cc82
    Tom Zanussi authored
    The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
    event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
    filters in the multibuffer case:
    
    Before:
    
      # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      bytes_alloc > 8192
      # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
      # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      bytes_alloc > 2048
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      bytes_alloc > 2048
    
    Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
    the same event in tracing/events as it does above.
    
    After:
    
      # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      bytes_alloc > 8192
      # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
      # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      bytes_alloc > 8192
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
      bytes_alloc > 2048
    
    We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
    ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
    multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
    event_call-based filters.  For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
    is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
    old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
    multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
    new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.
    
    The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
    redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
    it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
    appropriate).
