Linus Torvalds 1bc191051d Tracing updates for 5.18:
- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel
   describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page
   mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that
   event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true,
   telling the user space application to start writing the event to the
   tracing buffer.
 
 - Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set,
   the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when
   the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that
   happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as
   well.
 
 - Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions.
   Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace
   event parsers can still know how to parse that array.
 
 - Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
   TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will
   make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at
   only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
 
 - Fixes to tracing error logging.
 
 - Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events for
   mapping).
