[for-next][PATCH 04/17] tracing: Clear all trace buffers when unloaded module event was used

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-tracing-Clear-all-trace-buffers-when-unloaded-module.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2796 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <srostedt@redhat.com>

Currently we do not know what buffer a module event was enabled in.
On unload, it is safest to clear all buffer instances, not just the
top level buffer.

Todo: Clear only the buffer that the event was used in. The
infrastructure is there to do this, but it makes the code a bit
more complex. Lets get the current code vetted before we add that.
