Any flag name works for me.

For my use cases I don't see much value in having separate events for
the different debug functions, but since all of them can be easily
enabled (dyndbg:*, as you noted), that works for me too.

You're welcome to have a go.  I think you've already rebased the
patchset, but here's a diff top of v5.16-rc4 for reference.  I noticed a
bug inside the CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL handling (also present in the last
version I posted) which should be fixed as part of the diff below (I've
added a comment).  Proper tests for this, like the ones you are adding
in your patchset, would certainly be a good idea.  Thanks.
