ftrace: Support full glob matching
Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?) and character classes ([) for ftrace. Since the full glob matching is slower than the current partial matching routines(*pat, pat*, *pat*), this leaves those routines and just add MATCH_GLOB for complex glob expression. e.g. ---- [root@localhost tracing]# echo 'sched*group' > set_ftrace_filter [root@localhost tracing]# cat set_ftrace_filter sched_free_group sched_change_group sched_create_group sched_online_group sched_destroy_group sched_offline_group [root@localhost tracing]# echo '[Ss]y[Ss]_*' > set_ftrace_filter [root@localhost tracing]# head set_ftrace_filter sys_arch_prctl sys_rt_sigreturn sys_ioperm SyS_iopl sys_modify_ldt SyS_mmap SyS_set_thread_area SyS_get_thread_area SyS_set_tid_address sys_fork ---- Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147566869501.29136.6462645009894738056.stgit@devbox Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

+Perhaps this is not enough. The filters also allow glob(7) matching.
<match>* - will match functions that begin with <match>

Note: It is better to use quotes to enclose the wild cards,
otherwise the shell may expand the parameters into names
