    tracing: add hierarchical enabling of events · 8ae79a13
    Steven Rostedt authored
    With the current event directory, you can only enable individual events.
    The file debugfs/tracing/set_event is used to be able to enable or
    disable several events at once. But that can still be awkward.
    
    This patch adds hierarchical enabling of events. That is, each directory
    in debugfs/tracing/events has an "enable" file. This file can enable
    or disable all events within the directory and below.
    
     # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable
    
    will enable all events.
    
     # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/sched/enable
    
    will enable all events in the sched subsystem.
    
     # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable
     # echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/events/irq/enable
    
    will enable all events, but then disable just the irq subsystem events.
    
    When reading one of these enable files, there are four results:
    
     0 - all events this file affects are disabled
     1 - all events this file affects are enabled
     X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled
     ? - this file does not affect any event
