I don't understand... in the example I gave, the trace doesn't get
called if disabled. What do you mean to "add lock protection when the
trace is disabled()"?

What do you mean by "hook" function? If something has attached to the
trace, then xxx_enabled() will return true.

Why is it clearer (other than the fact that I missed including t->from
under the lock)?

The main feedback is I'd like to see the fields dereferenced in the
same context as the lock acquisition instead of acquiring the lock and
calling the trace function, so this code would be fine. There will be
very little contention for t->lock so using xxx_enabled() is optional.
Since trace_binder_txn_latency_free() is called twice, it would make
sense to have a helper function to do the above.
