[for-next][PATCH 13/21] tracing: Add synth event generation test module
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jan 30 2020 - 09:48:44 EST
From: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add a test module that checks the basic functionality of the in-kernel
synthetic event generation API by generating and tracing synthetic
events from a module.
