[PATCH v4 2/9] mm/vmscan: move vmscan tracepoints to a local header

From: Ridong Chen

Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 23:53:25 EST


From: Ridong Chen <chenridong@xxxxxxxxxx>

Move include/trace/events/vmscan.h to mm/trace_vmscan.h so that the
tracepoints can be extended to reference vmscan-internal structures such
as struct scan_control, which is not visible outside mm/. This mirrors
what several other subsystems already do with their trace headers (e.g.
fs/fuse/fuse_trace.h, fs/gfs2/trace_gfs2.h, fs/lockd/trace.h). As they
do, set TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH to "." and add mm/ to the include path of
vmscan.o, the only user that defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS.

No functional change.
