  64 * The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
  65 *
  66 * name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
  67 *   A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
  68 *
  69 * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
  70 *   Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
  71 *
  72 * args:  must match the arguments in the prototype.
  73 *    Here it is simply "foo, bar".
  74 *
  75 * struct:  This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
  76 *          The items declared here become part of a special structure
  77 *          called "__entry", which can be used in the fast_assign part of the
  78 *          TRACE_EVENT macro.
  79 *
  80 *      Here are the currently defined types you can use:
  81 *
  82 *   __field : Is broken up into type and name. Where type can be any
  83 *         primitive type (integer, long or pointer).
  84 *
  85 *        __field(int, foo)
  86 *
  87 *        __entry->foo = 5;
  88 *
  89 *   __field_struct : This can be any static complex data type (struct, union
  90 *         but not an array). Be careful using complex types, as each
  91 *         event is limited in size, and copying large amounts of data
  92 *         into the ring buffer can slow things down.
  93 *
  94 *         __field_struct(struct bar, foo)
  95 *
  96 *         __entry->bar.x = y;
  97
  98 *   __array: There are three fields (type, name, size). The type is the
  99 *         type of elements in the array, the name is the name of the array.
 100 *         size is the number of items in the array (not the total size).
 101 *
 102 *         __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying: char foo[10];
 103 *
 104 *         Assigning arrays can be done like any array:
 105 *
 106 *         __entry->foo[0] = 'a';
 107 *
 108 *         memcpy(__entry->foo, bar, 10);
 109 *
 110 *   __dynamic_array: This is similar to array, but can vary its size from
 111 *         instance to instance of the tracepoint being called.
 112 *         Like __array, this too has three elements (type, name, size);
 113 *         type is the type of the element, name is the name of the array.
 114 *         The size is different than __array. It is not a static number,
 115 *         but the algorithm to figure out the length of the array for the
 116 *         specific instance of tracepoint. Again, size is the number of
 117 *         items in the array, not the total length in bytes.
 118 *
 119 *         __dynamic_array( int, foo, bar) is similar to: int foo[bar];
 120 *
 121 *         Note, unlike arrays, you must use the __get_dynamic_array() macro
 122 *         to access the array.
 123 *
 124 *         memcpy(__get_dynamic_array(foo), bar, 10);
 125 *
 126 *         Notice, that "__entry" is not needed here.
 127 *
 128 *   __string: This is a special kind of __dynamic_array. It expects to
 129 *         have a null terminated character array passed to it (it allows
 130 *         for NULL too, which would be converted into "(null)"). __string
 131 *         takes two parameter (name, src), where name is the name of
 132 *         the string saved, and src is the string to copy into the
 133 *         ring buffer.
 134 *
 135 *         __string(foo, bar)  is similar to:  strcpy(foo, bar)
 136 *
 137 *         To assign a string, use the helper macro __assign_str().
 138 *
 139 *         __assign_str(foo, bar);
 140 *
 141 *         In most cases, the __assign_str() macro will take the same
 142 *         parameters as the __string() macro had to declare the string.
 143 *
 144 *   __bitmask: This is another kind of __dynamic_array, but it expects
 145 *         an array of longs, and the number of bits to parse. It takes
 146 *         two parameters (name, nr_bits), where name is the name of the
 147 *         bitmask to save, and the nr_bits is the number of bits to record.
 148 *
 149 *         __bitmask(target_cpu, nr_cpumask_bits)
 150 *
 151 *         To assign a bitmask, use the __assign_bitmask() helper macro.
 152 *
 153 *         __assign_bitmask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar), nr_cpumask_bits);
 154 *
 155 *
 156 * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
 157 *    into the ring buffer. A special variable called "__entry" will be the
 158 *    structure that points into the ring buffer and has the same fields as
 159 *    described by the struct part of TRACE_EVENT above.
 160 *
 161 * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
 162 *    useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
 163 *    the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
 164 *    This is also used to print out the data from the trace files.
 165 *    Again, the __entry macro is used to access the data from the ring buffer.
 166 *
 167 *    Note, __dynamic_array, __string, and __bitmask require special helpers
 168 *       to access the data.
 169 *
 170 *      For __dynamic_array(int, foo, bar) use __get_dynamic_array(foo)
 171 *            Use __get_dynamic_array_len(foo) to get the length of the array
 172 *            saved. Note, __get_dynamic_array_len() returns the total allocated
 173 *            length of the dynamic array; __print_array() expects the second
 174 *            parameter to be the number of elements. To get that, the array length
 175 *            needs to be divided by the element size.
 176 *
 177 *      For __string(foo, bar) use __get_str(foo)
 178 *
 179 *      For __bitmask(target_cpus, nr_cpumask_bits) use __get_bitmask(target_cpus)
 180 *
 181 *
 182 * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
 183 * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
 184 * TP_STRUCT__entry.

 301 * There may be a case where a tracepoint should only be called if

 307 *
 308 * Would cause a little overhead when tracing is not enabled, and that
