Re: [RFC PATCH] Kernel Tracepoints (update)

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

Hi Masami,

I am thinking about removing the private_data, because such declaration
won't work :

DEFINE_TRACE(kernel_irq_exit,
        TPPROTO(void),
        TPARGS());

because the arguments become :

(void *private_data, void)

Any better idea ?
