The struct event_command has a callback function called get_trigger_ops(). This callback returns the "trigger_ops" to use for the trigger. These ops define the trigger function, how to init the trigger, how to print the trigger and how to free it. The only reason there's a callback function to get these ops is because some triggers have two types of operations. One is an "always on" operation, and the other is a "count down" operation. If a user passes in a parameter to say how many times the trigger should execute. For example: echo stacktrace:5 > events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/trigger It will trigger the stacktrace for the first 5 times the kmem_cache_alloc event is hit. Instead of having two different trigger_ops since the only difference between them is the tigger itself (the print, init and free functions are all the same), just use a single ops that the event_command points to and add a function field to the trigger_ops to have a count_func. When a trigger is added to an event, if there's a count attached to it and the trigger ops has the count_func field, the data allocated to represent this trigger will have a new flag set called COUNT. Then when the trigger executes, it will check if the COUNT data flag is set, and if so, it will call the ops count_func(). If that returns false, it returns without executing the trigger. This removes the need for duplicate event_trigger_ops structures.

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 reStructuredText 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.
