Tracepoints are the infrastructure on which trace events are build. tracepoint.c
should not include a trace event header: this is an abstraction inversion.

I propose we move the

extern void syscall_regfunc(void);
extern void syscall_unregfunc(void);

declarations to include/linux/tracepoint.h instead.

Thanks,

Mathieu
