[PATCH RFC 6/7] tracing: Add a filter argument to __ftrace_set_clr_event()

From: Thomas Weißschuh <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-13 14:07:32
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tracing · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu

Make it possible to directly enable a filter when enabling an event.

For now this is unused, an upcoming patch will wire it up.
