Please use classes when having tracepoints that have the same fields.
This will save a bit of kernel memory. Something like:


DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(hotplug_template,

	TP_PROTO(unsigned int type, unsigned int step, unsigned int cpuid),

	TP_ARGS(type, step, cpuid),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__field(u32, type)
		__field(u32, step)
		__field(u32, cpuid)
	),

	 TP_fast_assign(
		__entry->type = type;
		__entry->step = step;
		__entry->cpuid = cpuid;
	),

	TP_printk("type=%lu step=%lu cpuid=%lu", (unsigned long)__entry->type,
		(unsigned long)__entry->step, (unsigned long)__entry->cpuid)
);

DEFINE_EVENT(hotplug_template, hotplug_start,
	TP_PROTO(unsigned int type, unsigned int step, unsigned int cpuid),
	TP_ARGS(type, step, cpuid);

DEFINE_EVENT(hotplug_template, hotplug_end,
	TP_PROTO(unsigned int type, unsigned int step, unsigned int cpuid),
	TP_ARGS(type, step, cpuid);
