[PATCH v2 25/40] tracing: Add support for dynamic tracepoints

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Tue Sep 05 2017 - 17:59:20 EST


The tracepoint infrastructure assumes statically-defined tracepoints
and uses static_keys for tracepoint enablement. In order to define
tracepoints on the fly, we need to have a dynamic counterpart.

Add a 'dynamic' flag to struct tracepoint along with accompanying
logic for this purpose.
