- Fix MAINTAINERS file to point to proper mailing list for rtla and rv
The mailing list pointed to linux-trace-devel instead of
linux-trace-kernel. The former is for the tracing libraries
and the latter is for anything in the Linux kernel tree.
The wrong mailing list was used because linux-trace-kernel did not
exist when rtla and rv were created.
- User events:
. Fix matching of dynamic events to their user events
When user writes to dynamic_events file, a lookup of the
registered dynamic events are made, but there were some cases
that a match could be incorrectly made.
. Add auto cleanup of user events
Have the user events automatically get removed when the last
reference (file descriptor) is closed. This was asked for to
prevent leaks of user events hanging around needing admins
to clean them up.
. Add persistent logic (but not let user space use it yet)
In some cases, having a persistent user event (one that does not
get cleaned up automatically) is useful. But there's still
debates about how to expose this to user space. The infrastructure
is added, but the API is not.
. Update the selftests
Update the user event selftests to reflect the above changes.
