ftrace: improve documentation
Impact: extend documentation with notice of using wild cards correctly We know that we can use wild cards to set set_ftrace_filter, but there's problem when using them naively such as: echo h* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter If there are files named with "h" prefix in current directory, echo "h*" will echo these filenames to set_ftrace_filter, not the intended "h*". For example: $ cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions |grep ^hr |wc -l 23 $ ls $ touch hraa hrdd $ ls hraa hrdd $ echo hr* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter $ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter No output in /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter! If we use '' to escape wild cards, it works: $ ls hraa hrdd $ echo "hr*" > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter $ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter |wc -l 23 This problem can lead to unexpected result if current directory has a lot of files.
