Subject: tracing: add interface to write into current tracer buffer
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef5580d0fffce6e0a01043bac0625128b5d409a7;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

tracing: add interface to write into current tracer buffer

Right now all tracers must manage their own trace buffers. This was
to enforce tracers to be independent in case we finally decide to
allow each tracer to have their own trace buffer.

But now we are adding event tracing that writes to the current tracer's
buffer. This adds an interface to allow events to write to the current
tracer buffer without having to manage its own. Since event tracing
has no "tracer", and is just a way to hook into any other tracer.
