Instance creation can happen with the bootconfig but there's currently
no way to create and enable instances via the normal command line.

This series fixes that.

 trace_instance=foo,sched_switch,sched_waking ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo

The above creates a "foo" instance at early start up and enables
the sched_switch and sched_waking events. Then at the end of boot up
a snapshot is taken so that user space does not overwrite the boot
up data.

Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230111145636.450953217@goodmis.org/
 - Fixed document grammar (Randy Dunlap)
 - Removed extra workqueue.h include (Ross Zwisler)
 - Use sizeof(boot_instance_info) than using COMMAND_LINE_SIZE)
 - Remove unneeded @ip in kernel-doc (Ross Zwisler)
 - Make stub function for do_allocate_snapshot() for !CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE (kernel test robot)
 - Compare strstr() to NULL and not zero (kernel test robot)
 - Use sizeof(boot_snapshot_info) instead of COMMAND_LINE_SIZE (Ross Zwisler)

Steven Rostedt (Google) (4):
      tracing: Add creation of instances at boot command line
      tracing: Add enabling of events to boot instances
      tracing: Add trace_array_puts() to write into instance
      tracing: Allow boot instances to have snapshot buffers
