TRACE_EVENT without ARGS

[Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com>]

Hello,

I would like to define trace events for functions without arguments,
e.g. my_yield(). But TRACE_EVENT requires at least one argument to be
defined and I also have not found an example in the kernel sources,
apart from:

  $ cat include/trace/events/xen.h
  ...
  TRACE_EVENT(xen_mmu_flush_tlb,
              TP_PROTO(int x),
              TP_ARGS(x),
              TP_STRUCT__entry(__array(char, x, 0)),
              TP_fast_assign((void)x),
              TP_printk("%s", "")
          );

It uses a dummy argument to work around the problem. Is that the
recommended way to handle such cases?

TIA,

Wolfgang
