Note, Vineeth came up with the naming. I would have done "do" but when I
saw "invoke" I thought it sounded better.
It works as long as you don't have a tracing subsystem called
"invoke", then you get into identifier clash territory.
True. Perhaps we should do the double underscore trick.
Instead of: trace_invoke_foo()
use: trace_invoke__foo()
Which will make it more visible to what the trace event is.
Hmm, we probably should have used: trace__foo() for all tracepoints, as
there's still functions that are called trace_foo() that are not
tracepoints :-p
One certain way to eliminate identifier clash would be to go for a
prefix to "trace_", e.g.
do_trace_foo()
call_trace_foo()
emit_trace_foo()
__trace_foo()
invoke_trace_foo()
dispatch_trace_foo()
Thanks,
