OK, so I'll make them all optional, but at least, if they are supplied,
they will be checked.

That is, you can't add the options if you don't add the event as well. But
if you do add the event, then it should work.

Basically, we have the following:

 # echo 'e:hrstate timer/hrtimer_cancel state=+0x38($hrtimer):u8' >> dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
eprobes/hrstate timer.hrtimer_cancel state=+0x38($hrtimer):u8

Then the following should work:

  # echo '-:hrstate timer/hrtimer_cancel state=+0x38($hrtimer):u8' >> dynamic_events
  # echo '-:eprobes/hrstate timer.hrtimer_cancel state=+0x38($hrtimer):u8' >> dynamic_events
  # echo '-:eprobes/hrstate timer.hrtimer_cancel' >> dynamic_events
  # echo '-:eprobes/hrstate' >> dynamic_events

But the following will not work:

  # echo '-:hrstate state=+0x38($hrtimer):u8' >> dynamic_events
  # echo '-:hrstate timer.hrtimer_cancel state=+0x38($hrtimer):u8' >> dynamic_events
  # echo '-:hrstate timer.hrtimer_cancel' >> dynamic_events


Should this work?

  # echo '-:hrstate' >> dynamic_events
