Subject: [PATCH RFC 7/7] tracing: Parse filter from event string
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:07:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813-tracing-cli-event-filter-v1-7-57c4e8029c86@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813-tracing-cli-event-filter-v1-0-57c4e8029c86@linutronix.de>
Make it possible to specify a trace event filter from the
kernel command line.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>
---
For the non-RFC patch this should probably be limited to only apply to
the cmdline path.
