Remove trace_printk.h by creating a trace_controls.h for those places that
need access to tracing prototypes like tracing_off() and for the places that
need trace_printk() directly, to have it included directly.
Changse since v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20260625104007.041432666@kernel.org/
- Forward ported to latest kernel.
- Added lockdep patch for _THIS_IP_
https://patch.msgid.link/20261028110558.623a92d1@gandalf.local.home
Steven Rostedt (3):
lockdep: Add #include <linux/instruction_pointer.h> to lockdep.h
tracing: Move non-trace_printk prototypes into trace_controls.h
tracing: Remove trace_printk.h from kernel.h

On 32bit x86, _THIS_IP_ is not defined in asm/linkage.h. It happens to get
included into lockdep.h via kernel.h pulling in trace_printk.h which
includes instruction_pointer.h that has _THIS_IP_ defined when linkage.h
does not.
In order to remove trace_printk.h from kernel.h, have lockdep.h include
instruction_pointer.h directly.

Remove the prototypes of the code that is not associated with
trace_printk() from trace_printk.h.
These control functions as well as ftrace_dump() and trace_dump_stack()
are used in cases where things go wrong. The main use case is to do a
trace_dump_stack(); tracing_off(); ftrace_dump(); in a place that detected
that something went wrong, whereas, trace_printk() is added to normal code
during debugging and removed before committing upstream. The dump code is
fine to keep in production.

There have been complaints about trace_printk.h causing more build time
for being in kernel.h if it changes. There is also an effort to clean up
kernel.h to have it not include unneeded header files. Move trace_printk.h
out of kernel.h and place it in the headers and C files that use it.
