Subject: tracing: Allow mmio tracer to display trace_printk() and other events

Hi,

I am trying to print trace markers from inside the kernel using the mmio-tracer's
mmiotrace_printk routine but it doesn't get printed.  Looking back, i found this thread
and applied the said patch but that didn't work either.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/4/465

Thereafter, I followed the code path starting at mmiotrace_printk which lead to __trace_array_vprintk
and in there,

       tbuffer = get_trace_buf();
        if (!tbuffer) {
             /*   pr_info("invalid buffer.\n"); */
                len = 0;
                goto out;
        }

tbuffer turns out to be null which is why the call to mmiotrace_printk returns without printing my marker.

Has this been fixed or looked into ? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
