[RFC PATCH v2] Tracepoint: register/unregister struct tracepoint

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Thu Mar 13 2014 - 12:31:39 EST

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt.

>From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

since v1:
- Adapt ftrace/perf callers,
- Update tracepoint.h macro,
- Build tested.

Still needs testing.

This patch applies on top of 1b39437c61f562f82d6a4e3218470339a44620f7,
after applying:
- "Tracepoint cleanup: remove unused API functions"
- "Tracepoint API doc update: data argument"
