Subject: [PATCH v9 4/4] tracing: Add warnings for unused tracepoints for modules
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 16:38:46 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015203924.731213165@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20251015203842.618059565@kernel.org

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If a modules has TRACE_EVENT() but does not use it, add a warning about it
at build time.

Currently, the build must be made by adding "UT=1" to the make command
line in order for this to trigger.
