[PATCH 0/3] tracing: Remove trace_printk.h from kernel.h
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 15:26:38 EST
Remove trace_printk.h by creating a trace_controls.h for those places that
need access to tracing prototypes like tracing_off() and for the places that
need trace_printk() directly, to have it included directly.
Changse since v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20260625104007.041432666@xxxxxxxxxx/
- Forward ported to latest kernel.
- Added lockdep patch for _THIS_IP_
https://patch.msgid.link/20261028110558.623a92d1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Steven Rostedt (3):
lockdep: Add #include <linux/instruction_pointer.h> to lockdep.h
tracing: Move non-trace_printk prototypes into trace_controls.h
tracing: Remove trace_printk.h from kernel.h
