Tracefs by default is locked down heavily. System operators can open up some files, such as user_events to a broader set of users. These users do not have access within tracefs beyond just the user_event files. Due to this restriction the trace_add_event_call/remove calls will silently fail since the caller does not have permissions to create directories. To fix this trace_add_event_call/remove calls will be issued with override creds of the global root UID. Creds are reverted immediately afterward.

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 Restructured Text 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.
