Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) c3e13c7c06 tracing: Update documentation on tracepoint glob matching
b0f1a59a "tracing/filters: Use a different op for glob match" added
glob matching to tracepoint filter strings. It uses the ftrace function
tracing glob matching facility that allows for the wild card character (*)
to be used at the start and/or end of the matching string.

But the documentation still states that the filtering only allows for
exact string matches.

Steven Rostedt 1a891cf19c tracing: Add binary '&' filter for events
There are some cases when filtering on a set flag of a field of a tracepoint
is useful. But currently the only filtering commands for numbered fields
is ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. This does not help when you just want to trace if
a specific flag is set. For example:

 > # sudo trace-cmd record -e brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg -f 'level & 0x40000'
 > disable all
 > enable brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg
 > path = /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/brcmfmac/brcmf_dbg/enable
 > (level & 0x40000)
 > ^
 > parse_error: Invalid operator
 >

When trying to trace brcmf_dbg when level has its 1 << 18 bit set, the
filter fails to perform.

By allowing a binary '&' operation, this gives the user the ability to
test a bit.

Note, a binary '|' is not added, as it doesn't make sense as fields must
be compared to constants (for now), and ORing a constant will always return
true.

Li Zefan 3890c13635 tracing: update Documentation on max preds limit
Preds is no longer stored in a fixed-size stack. The max preds now
is 2^14, and is way more than enough, so don't bother to document it.

Tao Ma bfc672dcf3 Documentation/trace/events.txt: Remove obsolete sched_signal_send.
'sched_signal_send' doesn't exist in the kernel now. Replace it
with 'signal_generate' so that the example in events.txt can be
executed successfully.

I also change some /debug to /sys/kernel/debug which is debugfs'
default mount directory now(similar to commit 52ad51e).

Li Zefan 143c145e3a tracing/events: Documentation updates
- fix some typos
- document the difference between '>' and '>>'
- document the 'enable' toggle
- remove section "Defining an event-enabled tracepoint", since it's
  out-dated and sample/trace_events/ already serves this purpose.

v2: add "Updated by Li Zefan"

[ Impact: make documentation up-to-date ]
