[PATCH v5 3/3] tracepoint: Do not warn for unused event that is exported
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Jul 24 2025 - 22:52:25 EST
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
There are a few generic events that may only be used by modules. They are
defined and then set with EXPORT_TRACEPOINT*(). Mark events that are
exported as being used, even though they still waste memory in the kernel
proper.
