I'm not convinced DECLARE_TRACE_DATA() is an appropriate name. Sounds
confusing. What kind of data is this ? It is not obvious that this
refers to callback private data.

Why can't we just extend the existing DECLARE_TRACE() instead and add a
"callback_data" argument (or something slightly less verbose) ? We can
update all users anyway.

We can also create a variant when there are no arguments passed:

DECLARE_TRACE_NOARG()

We had to do the same for the Linux kernel markers in the past. Then we
can create a TRACE_EVENT_NOARG() macro if necessary.

I don't think it makes sense to require users to pass arguments. It
should be possible to just say "I'm here". Cases where this could make
sense includes cases where we'd only be interested in global variables
at a specific tracepoint.

Thanks,

Mathieu
