Gerd Hoffmann ddde8acc98 trace: allow disabling events in events file
Disable trace events prefixed with a '-'.  Useful
to enable a group of tracepoints with exceptions,
like this:

  usb_xhci_port_*
  -usb_xhci_port_read

which will enable all xhci port tracepoints except reads.

Alexey Kardashevskiy 794b1f962e trace: added ability to comment out events in the list
It is convenient for debug to be able to switch on/off some events easily.
The only possibility now is to remove event name from the file completely
and type it again when we want it back.

The patch adds '#' symbol handling as a comment specifier.

Lluís 23d15e860b trace: add "-trace events" argument to control initial state
The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing
early tracing.

This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor
interface or whichever backend-specific interface.
