What should we do about:

kernel/trace/trace_export.c:

struct ftrace_event_call __used event_##call = { \
.name = #call, \
.event.type = etype, \
.class = &event_class_ftrace_##call, \
.print_fmt = print, \
.flags = TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE | TRACE_EVENT_FL_USE_CALL_FILTER, \
};
when replacing the .name for a .tp->name, it is unclear what the
tracepoint structure should be (is there even one ?).

Thanks,

Mathieu
