tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer
The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:
Before:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.
After:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.
The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).
