Currently a subsystem filter should be applicable to all events
under the subsystem, and if it failed, all the event filters
will be cleared. Those behaviors make subsys filter much less
useful:
# echo 'vec == 1' > irq/softirq_entry/filter
# echo 'irq == 5' > irq/filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat irq/softirq_entry/filter
none
I'd expect it set the filter for irq_handler_entry/exit, and
not touch softirq_entry/exit.
The basic idea is, try to see if the filter can be applied
to which events, and then just apply to the those events:
# echo 'vec == 1' > softirq_entry/filter
# echo 'irq == 5' > filter
# cat irq_handler_entry/filter
irq == 5
# cat softirq_entry/filter
vec == 1
Changelog for v2:
- do some cleanups to address Frederic's comments.
