Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/5] irq: add tracepoint to softirq_raise

This patch adds a tracepoint to raising of softirq.
This is useful if you want to detect which hard interrupt raise softirq
and lets you know a time between raising softirq and performing softirq.
Combinating with other tracepoint, it lets us know a process of packets
(See patch 0/5).

<idle>-0 [001] 241229.957184: softirq_raise: vec=3 [action=NET_RX]
<idle>-0 [000] 241229.993399: softirq_raise: vec=1 [action=TIMER]
<idle>-0 [000] 241229.993400: softirq_raise: vec=9 [action=RCU]

This is a same patch Lai Jiangshan submitted.

If so, you shouldn't remove author's info. please fix the description
as following.

This patch adds a tracepoint to raising of softirq.
This is useful if you want to detect which hard interrupt raise softirq
and lets you know a time between raising softirq and performing softirq.
Combinating with other tracepoint, it lets us know a process of packets
(See patch 0/5).

Right. And if you do some changes in the original patch, you can just
change the description, or add a simple line before your Signed-off-by, that
says:

[ factorize softirq events with DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS ]

Because indeed, as Steve said, the softirq_raise tracepoint should
belong to the softirq event class as it perfectly matches it. This
helps the kernel
saving some space.

Thanks.
