Subject: [RFC][Patch 1/2] markers: introduce DEFINE_TRACE for regular kernel
 markers

Hi,

I wrote a DEFINE_TRACE patch according to my suggestion. Users can still
use _trace_mark/trace_mark macro for their module.

This patch introduces DEFINE_TRACE() and _DEFINE_TRACE() macros for defining
inline functions which wraps trace_mark() and hides the fmt string.
These macros only for in-kernel regular markers, not for user-defined
markers.

Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...hat.com>

TODO:
- DEFINE_TRACE might better define 'trace_##name' marker instead of 'name'
 for avoiding conflict of marker names.
