Operators want to be able to ensure enough tracepoints exist on the system for kernel components as well as for user components. Since there are only up to 64K events, by default allow up to half to be used by user events. Add a kernel sysctl parameter (kernel.user_events_max) to set a global limit that is honored among all groups on the system. This ensures hard limits can be setup to prevent user processes from consuming all event IDs on the system.

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.
