If all functions are enabled, there's a comment displayed in the file to
denote that:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
If a function trigger is set, those are displayed as well:
# echo schedule:traceoff >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
schedule:traceoff:unlimited
But if you read that file with dd, the output can change:
# dd if=/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter bs=1
#### all functions enabled ####

This is because the "pos" variable is updated for the comment, but func_pos
is not. "func_pos" is used by the triggers (or hashes) to know how many
functions were printed and it bases its index from the pos - func_pos.
func_pos should be 1 to count for the comment printed. But since it is not,
t_hash_start() thinks that one trigger was already printed.
The cat gets to t_hash_start() via t_next() and not t_start() which updates
both pos and func_pos.
