2023-03-29tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in exampleBeau Belgrave
The ABI has changed to use a remote write approach. Update the example to show the expected use of this new ABI. Also remove debugfs path and use tracefs to ensure example works in more environments.

2023-02-18tracing: Always use canonical ftrace pathRoss Zwisler
The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

2022-09-29tracing/user_events: Use bits vs bytes for enabled status page dataBeau Belgrave
User processes may require many events and when they do the cache performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index. The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768. This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).

2022-02-10user_events: Add sample code for typical usageBeau Belgrave
Add sample code for user_events typical usage to show how to register and monitor status, as well as to write out data.
