Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Remove DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS
Date:   Mon, 13 Apr 2020 18:32:46 +0300
Message-Id: <20200413153246.8511-1-nborisov@suse.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

This macro was intentionally broken so that the kernel code is not
poluted with such noargs macro used simply as markers. This use case
can be satisfied by using dummy no inline functions. Just remove it.
