Subject: [for-next][PATCH 07/18] tracing: Add a filter argument to __ftrace_set_clr_event()
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 10:31:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016143135.517166030@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016143115.392980228@kernel.org>
From: =?UTF-8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>
Make it possible to directly enable a filter when enabling an event.
For now this is unused, an upcoming patch will wire it up.
