tracing: Modify soft-mode only if there's no other referrer
Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer (currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference counter in each ftrace_event_file. Without this fix, adding and removing several different enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers. e.g. # echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable 0* # echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable 0 # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.
