It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template?
To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows
the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel:
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3)
To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to:
DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event)
... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

The current syscall tracer mixes raw syscalls and real syscalls.
echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable
And we get these from the output:
(XXXX insteads " grep-20914 [001] 588211.446347" .. etc)
XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 80609a8, count: 7000)
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 80609a8, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8)
XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312
XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 8060ae0, count: 7000)
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 8060ae0, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8)
XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312
There are 2 drawbacks here.
A) two almost identical records are saved in ringbuffer
when a syscall enters or exits. (4 records for every syscall)
This wastes precious space in the ring buffer.
B) the lines including "sys_enter/sys_exit" produces
hardly any useful information for the output (no labels).
The user can use this method to prevent these drawbacks:
echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable
echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_enter/enable
echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_exit/enable
But this is not user friendly. So we separate raw syscall
from syscall tracer.
After this fix applied:
syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable):
XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: bfe87d88, count: 200)
XXXX: sys_read -> 0x200
XXXX: sys_fstat64(fd: 3, statbuf: bfe87c98)
XXXX: sys_fstat64 -> 0x0
XXXX: sys_close(fd: 3)
raw syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/raw_syscalls/enable):
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (0, bf92bf18, bf92bf98, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8)
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0

Converting some of the scheduler trace events to use the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT helped to
save some space:

sched.o-notrace is without any tracepoints compiled
sched.o-templ is with this patch
sched.o-trace is the tracepoints before this patch
The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT:
sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, sched_process_free, sched_process_exit,
and sched_stat_wait.
The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT:
sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait.
Note, since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE always uses a print, the
sched_stat_wait print format is defined in the template and this
template is used by sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. But the
later two override the print format.

After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other
trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there
are several trace points where they are almost identical except for
the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful
in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the
developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more
TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then
they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event
would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and
be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
and override the print format.
Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were
converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
I was able to get the following:
$ size kernel/sched.o-*

104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace
sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points.
sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.
This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.
Usage is:
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);
Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.
To create the trace events that the trace points will use:
DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.
A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:
$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old

996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace
xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from

a single place.
Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks. With
this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
only once.
Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
the trace events before submitting a trace.

For some reason the export of the event print format to userspace
uses '#fmt' which breaks if the format string is anything but a plain
string, for example if it is built with macros then the macro names
are exported instead of their contents.
Use
"\"%s\"", fmt
instead of
"%s", #fmt
to export the string and not the way it is built.
For example, in net/mac80211/driver-trace.h for the trace event drv_start
there is:
TP_printk(
LOCAL_PR_FMT, LOCAL_PR_ARG
)
Which use to produce:
print fmt: LOCAL_PR_FMT, REC->wiphy_name
Now produces:
print fmt: "%s", REC->wiphy_name

Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events
such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock.
The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since
these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally
to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies
or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events.
Hence this rename.

While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
trace events.
Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
and only that.
This is because of a recursion inside perf.
1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
buffer and submit it to perf.
2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
using rcu_read_lock
3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
buffer to perf.
4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it
5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock
Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
rcu_read_unlock().
We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.
This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.

Now that we can filter based on fields via perf record, people
will start using filter expressions and will expect them to
be obvious.
The primary way to see which fields are available is by looking
at the trace output, such as:
gcc-18676 [000] 343.011728: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.012727: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.032692: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.033690: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.034687: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.035686: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.036684: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
While 'irq==0' filters work, the 'handler==<x>' filter expression
does not work:
$ perf record -R -f -a -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter handler=timer sleep 1
Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument)
The problem is that while an 'irq' field exists and is recognized
as a filter field - 'handler' does not exist - its name is 'name'
in the output.
To solve this, we need to synchronize the printout and the field
names, wherever possible.
In cases where the printout prints a non-field, we enclose
that information in square brackets, such as:
perf-1380 [013] 724.903505: softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU]
perf-1380 [013] 724.904482: softirq_exit: vec=1 [action=TIMER]
This way users can use filter expressions more intuitively: all
fields that show up as 'primary' (non-bracketed) information is
filterable.
This patch harmonizes the field names for all irq, bkl, power,
sched and timer events.
We might in fact think about dropping the print format bit of
generic tracepoints altogether, and just print the fields that
are being recorded.

Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.
v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

This approach is the first baby step towards solving many of the
structural problems the x86 MCE logging code is having today:
- It has a private ring-buffer implementation that has a number
of limitations and has been historically fragile and buggy.
- It is using a quirky /dev/mcelog ioctl driven ABI that is MCE
specific. /dev/mcelog is not part of any larger logging
framework and hence has remained on the fringes for many years.
- The MCE logging code is still very unclean partly due to its ABI
limitations. Fields are being reused for multiple purposes, and
the whole message structure is limited and x86 specific to begin
with.
All in one, the x86 tree would like to move away from this private
implementation of an event logging facility to a broader framework.
By using perf events we gain the following advantages:
- Multiple user-space agents can access MCE events. We can have an
mcelog daemon running but also a system-wide tracer capturing
important events in flight-recorder mode.
- Sampling support: the kernel and the user-space call-chain of MCE
events can be stored and analyzed as well. This way actual patterns
of bad behavior can be matched to precisely what kind of activity
happened in the kernel (and/or in the app) around that moment in
time.
- Coupling with other hardware and software events: the PMU can track a
number of other anomalies - monitoring software might chose to
monitor those plus the MCE events as well - in one coherent stream of
events.
- Discovery of MCE sources - tracepoints are enumerated and tools can
act upon the existence (or non-existence) of various channels of MCE
information.
- Filtering support: we just subscribe to and act upon the events we
are interested in. Then even on a per event source basis there's
in-kernel filter expressions available that can restrict the amount
of data that hits the event channel.
- Arbitrary deep per cpu buffering of events - we can buffer 32
entries or we can buffer as much as we want, as long as we have
the RAM.
- An NMI-safe ring-buffer implementation - mappable to user-space.
- Built-in support for timestamping of events, PID markers, CPU
markers, etc.
- A rich ABI accessible over system call interface. Per cpu, per task
and per workload monitoring of MCE events can be done this way. The
ABI itself has a nice, meaningful structure.
- Extensible ABI: new fields can be added without breaking tooling.
New tracepoints can be added as the hardware side evolves. There's
various parsers that can be used.
- Lots of scheduling/buffering/batching modes of operandi for MCE
events. poll() support. mmap() support. read() support. You name it.
- Rich tooling support: even without any MCE specific extensions added
the 'perf' tool today offers various views of MCE data: perf report,
perf stat, perf trace can all be used to view logged MCE events and
perhaps correlate them to certain user-space usage patterns. But it
can be used directly as well, for user-space agents and policy action
in mcelog, etc.
With this we hope to achieve significant code cleanup and feature
improvements in the MCE code, and we hope to be able to drop the
/dev/mcelog facility in the end.
This patch is just a plain dumb dump of mce_log() records to
the tracepoints / perf events framework - a first proof of
concept step.

This patch adds a tracepoint for request-remapping, trace_block_rq_remap().

The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.
By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per
inode.

Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses.
This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about
the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing
the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on...
The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because
these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient
to trace them.
Example of a trace:
hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put()
hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get()
How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively:
cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl
echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter
firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode()
You can also filter by file and/or line.

The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully
allocated but it does not specify where it came from. When analysing
performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from
the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter
requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be
examined.
This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being
allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to
refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation.
Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being
drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists.
This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those
events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a
page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of
buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces
not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to
enter this path.

Fragmentation avoidance depends on being able to use free pages from lists
of the appropriate migrate type. In the event this is not possible,
__rmqueue_fallback() selects a different list and in some circumstances
change the migratetype of the pageblock. Simplistically, the more times
this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem
later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations
such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation.
This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what
page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the
desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether
the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with
respect to fragmentation avoidance or not. This information can be used
to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether
min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages,
including the freeing of pagevecs. Using the events, it will be known
what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call
site was in many cases.
The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the
workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not. You can make
a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown.
Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be
__get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite. Instead of passing down
a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the
stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace.
The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase. It can be used to
get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it
is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.

* 'perfcounters-rename-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
perf: Tidy up after the big rename
perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
perf_counter: Rename 'event' to event_id/hw_event
perf_counter: Rename list_entry -> group_entry, counter_list -> group_list
Manually resolved some fairly trivial conflicts with the tracing tree in
include/trace/ftrace.h and kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c.
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.
Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.
The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
them and the first buffer.
The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.
v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
Steven Rostedt.
v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

Using relative pathnames in #include statements interacts badly with
SystemTap, since the fs/ext4/*.h header files are not packaged up as
part of a distribution kernel's header files. Since systemtap doesn't
use TP_fast_assign(), we can use a blind structure definition and then
make sure the needed header files are defined before the ext4 source
files #include the trace/events/ext4.h header file.

The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.
This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
is:
5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB
642 == cat available_events | wc -l
15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace
That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util
it's needed, that's when filter is used.

TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters
into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution
in some cases.
For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by
"%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events.
Eg:
cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format
[...]
print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\
"REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\
REC->args[4], REC->args[5]"
This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or
trace-cmd.
Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg()
macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

The recent commit:
tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies
fixed a file dependency problem while including more than
one trace event header file.
This fix undefined TRACE_EVENT after an event header macro
preprocessing in order to make tracepoint.h able to correctly declare
the tracepoints necessary for the next event header file.
But now we also need to undefine TRACE_EVENT_FN at the end of an event
header file preprocessing for the same reason.
This fixes the following build error:

Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add
new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of
the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument,
because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls.
Changes from v13:
- Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because
trace_remove_event_call() uses it.
- Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

The TRACE_EVENT depends on the include/linux/tracepoint.h first
and include/trace/ftrace.h later, if we include the ftrace.h early,
a building error will occur.
Both define TRACE_EVENT in trace_a.h and trace_b.h, if we include
those in .c file, like this:
#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
include <trace/events/trace_a.h>
include <trace/events/trace_b.h>
The above will not work, because the TRACE_EVENT was re-defined by

This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so
you can have generic ftrace events that capture all system calls with
arguments and return values. These generic events are also renamed to
sys_enter/exit, so they're more closely aligned to the specific
sys_enter_foo events.

It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet. This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet. It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).
This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint. The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.
This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.

This is defined dynamically using the syscalls metadata.
It prepares the export of syscall event raw records to perf
