OK, thanks, this was very helpful, combined with figuring out the perf
issue, I finally have some code that is successfully using the ioctl.
The ftrace documentation says you can clear a filter by writing "0" to it,
but that doesn't seem to work with the ioctl.
Is there better documentation for the filters than the ftrace.txt file
that comes with the kernel?
