Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] tracing: Remove trace_printk.h from kernel.h
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:07:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622131029.816825024@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260622130739.375198646@kernel.org

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There have been complaints about trace_printk.h causing more build time
for being in kernel.h. Move it out of kernel.h and place it in the headers
and C files that use it.

Changes since v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260621093811.168514984@kernel.org

- Just remove trace_printk.h and fix up all the places that need it.
