    tracing: Add 'stacktrace' event trigger command · f21ecbb3
    Tom Zanussi authored
    Add 'stacktrace' event_command.  stacktrace event triggers are added
    by the user via this command in a similar way and using practically
    the same syntax as the analogous 'stacktrace' ftrace function command,
    but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the stacktrace
    event trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files:
    
        echo 'stacktrace' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger
    
    The above command will turn on stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever
    someevent is hit, a stacktrace will be logged.
    
    This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
    command will be invoked:
    
        echo 'stacktrace:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger
    
    Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.
    
    The above command will log N stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever
    someevent is hit N times, a stacktrace will be logged.
