Steven Rostedt (Google) d23569979c tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system events
A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs
directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead,
allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems
that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not
individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating
instances for specific use cases quite bit.

The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This
parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of
event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the
trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored).

The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will
not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems
string.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
