    tracing: Get trace_events kernel command line working again · 77248221
    Steven Rostedt authored
    With the new descriptors used to allow multiple buffers in the
    tracing directory added, the kernel command line parameter
    trace_events=... no longer works. This is because the top level
    (global) trace array now has a list of descriptors associated
    with the events and the files in the debugfs directory. But in
    early bootup, when the command line is processed and the events
    enabled, the trace array list of events has not been set up yet.
    
    Without the list of events in the trace array, the setting of
    events to record will fail because it would not match any events.
    
    The solution is to set up the top level array in two stages.
    The first is to just add the ftrace file descriptors that just point
    to the events. This will allow events to be enabled and start tracing.
    The second stage is called after the filesystem is set up, and this
    stage will create the debugfs event files and directories associated
    with the trace array events.
