From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" In order to guarantee that a probe will be called before other probes that are attached to a tracepoint, there needs to be a mechanism to provide priority of one probe over the others. Adding a prio field to the struct tracepoint_func, which lets the probes be sorted by the priority set in the structure. If no priority is specified, then a priority of 10 is given (this is a macro, and perhaps may be changed in the future). Now probes may be added to affect other probes that are attached to a tracepoint with a guaranteed order. One use case would be to allow tracing of tracepoints be able to filter by pid. A special (higher priority probe) may be added to the sched_switch tracepoint and set the necessary flags of the other tracepoints to notify them if they should be traced or not. In case a tracepoint is enabled at the sched_switch tracepoint too, the order of the two are not random.
