[PATCH 01/18] trace: Allow <linux/tracepoint.h> to create empty tracepoints

From: Jan Kara
Date: Mon Mar 22 2010 - 20:33:29 EST


If a particular tracer is disabled, there is no need to generate any tracepoint
code for it. Actually, the inline checks whether tracepoints of the tracer are
active have non-negligible impact on a code size [1] and thus can in theory
lead to slowdown. This is undesirable when e.g. BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE should be
enabled in the production kernel but KMEMTRACE is disabled.

So introduce a macro trickery in <linux/tracepoint.h> so that each tracer can
define TRACE_CONFIG to CONFIG_MY_TRACER before including linux/tracepoint.h in
it's events file and that will result in tracepoints becoming empty if
CONFIG_MY_TRACER is not defined.
