Subject: [PATCH RFC 6/7] tracing: Add a filter argument to __ftrace_set_clr_event()
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:07:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813-tracing-cli-event-filter-v1-6-57c4e8029c86@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813-tracing-cli-event-filter-v1-0-57c4e8029c86@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.
