Allow triggers to be enabled at kernel boot up. For example:
trace_trigger="sched_switch.stacktrace if prev_state == 2"
The above will enable the stacktrace trigger on top of the sched_switch
event and only trigger if its prev_state is 2 (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE). Then
at boot up, a stacktrace will trigger and be recorded in the tracing ring
buffer every time the sched_switch happens where the previous state is
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
Another useful trigger would be "traceoff" which can stop tracing on an
event if a field of the event matches a certain value defined by the
filter ("if" statement).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
