[PATCH] tracing: Show the tracer options in boot-time created instance

[PATCH] tracing: Show the tracer options in boot-time created instance

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Since tracer_init_tracefs_work_func() only updates the tracer options
for the global_trace, the instances created by the kernel cmdline
do not have those options.

Fix to update tracer options for those boot-time created instances
to show those options.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Fixes: f20a580627f43 ("ftrace: Allow instances to use function tracing")

Actually, I think this should be:

Fixes: 428add559b69 ("tracing: Have tracer option be instance specific")

As it broke when we made function tracer options no longer global.

Since update_trace_options() is only called by this function, instead of
doing the loop here, change the function to be:

static __init void update_tracer_options(void)
{
	struct trace_array *tr;

	guard(mutex)(&trace_types_lock);
	tracer_options_updated = true;
	list_for_each_entry(tr, &ftrace_trace_arrays, list)
		__update_tracer_options(tr);
}

OK, let me change it.

OK. Let me send v2.
