Subject: [PATCH] documentation: Add links to TRACE_EVENT documentation
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 09:36:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <523FEF77.4020709@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
documentation: Add links to TRACE_EVENT documentation
Existing tracepoint documentation doesn't mention the popular
TRACE_EVENT
macro. Since an excellent series of articles on proper usage already
exists, respective links are added to the existing documentation.

used to export the defined tracepoints.
