Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

Pass extra arguments to match operation for checking
exact match. If the event doesn't support exact match,
it will be ignored.

When user gives an event name to delete, delete all
matched events instead of the first one.
This means if there are several events which have same
name but different group (subsystem) name, those are
removed if user passed only the event name, e.g.
# cat kprobe_events
p:group1/testevent _do_fork
p:group2/testevent fork_idle
# echo -:testevent >> kprobe_events
# cat kprobe_events
#

Fixes: 5448d44c38 ("tracing: Add unified dynamic event framework")

Add a generic method to remove event from dynamic event
list. This is same as other system under ftrace. You
just need to pass the event name with '!', e.g.
# echo p:new_grp/new_event _do_fork > dynamic_events
This creates an event, and
# echo '!p:new_grp/new_event _do_fork' > dynamic_events
Or,
# echo '!p:new_grp/new_event' > dynamic_events
will remove new_grp/new_event event.
Note that this doesn't check the event prefix (e.g. "p:")
strictly, because the "group/event" name must be unique.

Add unified dynamic event framework for ftrace kprobes, uprobes
and synthetic events. Those dynamic events can be co-exist on
same file because those syntax doesn't overlap.
This introduces a framework part which provides a unified tracefs
interface and operations.
