[PATCH] trace: trace_events: allow multiple modules

[PATCH] trace: trace_events: allow multiple modules

[Andrei-Alexandru Tachici]

Currently when multiple modules will be specified at boot
time in "kernel.trace_event=" only the last entry will
have trace events enabled.

Reconstruct through multiple setup calls the whole array
in bootup_event_buf in order to be parsed correctly by
early_enable_events().

Currently when multiple modules will be specified at boot
time in "kernel.trace_event=" only the last entry will
have trace events enabled.

Reconstruct through multiple setup calls the whole array
in bootup_event_buf in order to be parsed correctly by
early_enable_events().

Example bellow of a bootconfig:

kernel.trace_event = ":mod:rproc_qcom_common", ":mod:qrtr", ":mod:qcom_aoss"

Without the patch for the above only qcom_aoss would have
events enabled and debugging multiple modules that are
inserted at boot time would not be possible.
