Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 5/7] tracing: Set user_events to BROKEN
Date: Sun, 03 Apr 2022 10:25:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220403143140.186803554@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20220403142500.388473000@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
After being merged, user_events become more visible to a wider audience
that have concerns with the current API. It is too late to fix this for
this release, but instead of a full revert, just mark it as BROKEN (which
prevents it from being selected in make config). Then we can work finding
a better API. If that fails, then it will need to be completely reverted.
