In trying to implement this I'm running into a wall where TRACE_EVENT keeps being defined in many different ways all over the place, making this a really nasty hack to make it just an alias. Do you have any clever ideas on how to make this an alias without fouling up the whole tracing system? -- Arjan van de Ven Intel Open Source Technology Centre For development, discussion and tips for power savings, visit http://www.lesswatts.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
