When events are removed from tracefs, the eventfs must be aware of this.
The eventfs_remove() removes the meta data from eventfs so that it will no
longer create the files associated with that event.
When an instance is removed from tracefs, eventfs_remove_events_dir() will
remove and clean up the entire "events" directory.
The helper function eventfs_remove_rec() is used to clean up and free the
associated data from eventfs for both of the added functions. SRCU is used
to protect the lists of meta data stored in the eventfs. The eventfs_mutex
is used to protect the content of the items in the list.
As lookups may be happening as deletions of events are made, the freeing
of dentry/inodes and relative information is done after the SRCU grace
period has passed.

Add the following functions to add files to evenfs:
eventfs_add_events_file() to add the data needed to create a specific file
located at the top level events directory. The dentry/inode will be
created when the events directory is scanned.
eventfs_add_file() to add the data needed for files within the directories
below the top level events directory. The dentry/inode of the file will be
created when the directory that the file is in is scanned.

Add eventfs_file structure which will hold the properties of the eventfs
files and directories.
Add following functions to create the directories in eventfs:
eventfs_create_events_dir() will create the top level "events" directory
within the tracefs file system.
eventfs_add_subsystem_dir() creates an eventfs_file descriptor with the
given name of the subsystem.
eventfs_add_dir() creates an eventfs_file descriptor with the given name of
the directory and attached to a eventfs_file of a subsystem.
Add tracefs_inode structure to hold the inodes, flags and pointers to
private data used by eventfs.

The tracing "instances" directory can create sub tracing buffers
with mkdir, and remove them with rmdir. As a mkdir will also create
all the files and directories that control the sub buffer the inode
mutexes need to be released before this is done, to avoid deadlocks.
It is better to let the tracing system unlock the inode mutexes before
calling the functions that create the files within the new directory
(or deletes the files from the one being destroyed).
Now that tracing has been converted over to tracefs, the tracefs file
system can be modified to accommodate this feature. It still releases
the locks, but the filesystem itself can take care of the ugly
business and let the user just do what it needs.
The tracing system now attaches a descriptor to the directory dentry
that can have userspace create or remove sub directories. If this
descriptor does not exist for a dentry, then that dentry can not be
used to create other directories. This descriptor holds a mkdir and
rmdir method that only takes a character string as an argument.
The tracefs file system will first make a copy of the dentry name
before releasing the locks. Then it will pass the copied name to the
methods. It is up to the tracing system that supplied the methods to
handle races with duplicate names and such as all the inode mutexes
would be released when the functions are called.

Add a separate file system to handle the tracing directory. Currently it
is part of debugfs, but that is starting to show its limits.
One thing is that in order to access the tracing infrastructure, you need
to mount debugfs. As that includes debugging from all sorts of sub systems
in the kernel, it is not considered advisable to mount such an all
encompassing debugging system.
Having the tracing system in its own file systems gives access to the
tracing sub system without needing to include all other systems.
Another problem with tracing using the debugfs system is that the
instances use mkdir to create sub buffers. debugfs does not support mkdir
from userspace so to implement it, special hacks were used. By controlling
the file system that the tracing infrastructure uses, this can be properly
done without hacks.
