Linus,

tracing updates for v6.14:

- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers

  There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the
  error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
  allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
  guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
  memory when the function exits.

- Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too

  There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the
  same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both
  algorithms to use the same logic in one place.

- Add poll to trace event hist files

  It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
  filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
  event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up
  when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the
  event it is waiting for happened.

- Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules

  The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in
  modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will
  enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it
  is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that
  matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init
  functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature.

  Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then
  either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so
  that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works
  from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the
  module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250119192902.576eda90@gandalf.local.home/

- Fixed the "#if CONFIG_MODULES" to be "#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES"

- Renamed static function update_cache() to update_mod_cache() as riscv had
  a header with the update_cache() function in it, and it would conflict
  with the prototypes.
