Steven, et all, sorry for off-topic...

You probably know that kernel/trace/ is not trivial ;) and the fact
that cscope doesn't shows the callers in kernel/trace/trace_events.c
doesn't really help.

Fixed by the patch below, but I am not sure it is fine to uglify the
code to help the buggy tools. Is there any other way?

Oleg.
