Subject: [PATCH 06/12] tracing: Make tracing_update_buffers() take NULL for global_trace
Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2026 14:37:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206195935.791669128@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260206193741.767171392@kernel.org
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The trace.c file has become a dumping ground for all tracing code and has
become quite large. In order to move the trace_printk functions out of it
these functions can not access global_trace directly, as that is something
that needs to stay static in trace.c.
Have tracing_update_buffers() take NULL for its trace_array to denote it
should work on the global_trace top level trace_array allows that function
to be used outside of trace.c and still update the global_trace
trace_array.
