Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tracing/user_events: Add auto-del flag documentation
Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 16:53:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230530235304.2726-6-beaub@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230530235304.2726-1-beaub@linux.microsoft.com>

There is now a flag for user_events to use when registering events to
auto delete events upon the last reference put. Add the new flag,
USER_EVENT_REG_AUTO_DEL, to user_events documentation files to let
people know how to use it.
