Note, we've been using the standard that all functions local to the library
starts with "trace_" if they are not static.
But I'm not sure why this function needs to be in the utilities, where else
do you plan on using it? If there's only one user, keep it local to that
file. The tracefs-utils.c file should only contain functions that have
multiple use cases.

The description should not have its type, we can see that from the
prototype. It should be what it is.
* @filter: An array of function names or regex expressions, ending with a NULL pointer.

* @reset: Set to true to reset the filter before applying @filter.
then in the body of the description (here), you can explain more.
* The @filter is an array of strings, where each string will be use to set
* a function or functions to be traced. They can be function names, a glob
* expression, or a regex expressions, and all the functions that match
* each filter will be enabled.
*
* If @reset is true, then all functions in the filter are cleared before
* adding functions from @filter. Otherwise, the functions set by @filter
* will be appended to the filter.
Something like the above. That is, explain why things are happening not the
what, as people can figure out the what from the code.

This can be a helper function for this and perhaps for the
set_ftrace_notrace, but it should be local to this file. Especially, since
this function should also look at the list of available filter functions as
well. In fact, I'm thinking we may not even bother with the glob
expressions and do the search of available filter functions instead (if the
kernel accepts indexes).

The kernel expects a delimiter between function names, and it is not broken
up by individual writes. You need to add a space before writing in another
function name.
