[PATCH] tracing: always provide a prototype for tracing_alloc_snapshot()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski

Date: Tue Mar 31 2026 - 04:20:30 EST


The tracing_alloc_snapshot() symbol is always exported even with
!CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT so the prototype too must be always visible or
we'll see the following warning:

kernel/trace/trace.c:820:5: warning: no previous prototype for ‘tracing_alloc_snapshot’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
820 | int tracing_alloc_snapshot(void)
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixes: bade44fe5462 ("tracing: Move snapshot code out of trace.c and into trace_snapshot.c")
