[
  Not sure why I wasn't Cc'd on the original patch (or the one before that)
  but I guess I need to add tools/lib/traceevent under MAINTAINERs for
  perhaps tracing?
]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The tools/lib/traceevent/Makefile had a test added to it to detect a failure
of the "nm" when making the dynamic list file (whatever that is). The
problem is that the test sorts the values "U W w" and some versions of sort
will place "w" ahead of "W" (even though it has a higher ASCII value, and
break the test.

Add 'tr "w" "W"' to merge the two and not worry about the ordering.
