int tracefs_iterate_raw_events(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tracefs_instance *instance,

Trace iterator over raw events.
The tracefs_iterate_raw_events() function will read the tracefs
raw data buffers and call the specified callback function for
every event it encounters. Events are iterated in sorted order:
oldest first. An initialized tep handler is required (See
tracefs_local_events(3)). If instance is NULL, then the toplevel
tracefs buffer is used, otherwise the buffer for the
corresponding instance is read. To filter only on a subset of
CPUs, cpus and cpu_size may be set to only call callback with
events that occurred on the CPUs specified, otherwise if cpus is
NULL then the callback function will be called for all events,
and cpu_size is ignored. The callback function will be called
with the following parameters: A pointer to a struct tep_event
that corresponds to the type of event the record is; The record
representing the event; The CPU that the event occurred on; and a
pointer to user specified callback_context. If the callback
returns non-zero, the iteration stops.
Use tracefs_iterate_stop() to force a executing
tracefs_iterate_raw_events() to halt. This can be called from
either a callback that is called by the iterator (even though a
return of non-zero will stop it), or from another thread.
The tracefs_follow_event() is used with
tracefs_iterate_raw_events() but intead of the callback being
called for every event, it is only called for the specified
system / event_name given to the function. The callback is the
same as for tracefs_iterate_raw_events(), and the passed in
callback_context will be passed to the callback as well. Note, if
it returns something other than 0, it will stop the loop before
the callback of tracefs_iterate_raw_events() is called.
The tracefs_follow_missed_events() will call the callback when
missed events are detected. It will set the record parameter of
the callback to the record that came after the missed events and
event will be of the type of event record is. cpu will be set to
the CPU that missed the events, and callback_data will be the
content that was passed in to the function.
The tracefs_iterate_raw_events() function returns -1 in case of
an error or 0 otherwise.
