From 38ce2a9e33db61a3041840310077072d6210ead4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 12:46:49 -0400 Subject: tracing: Add trace_array_init_printk() to initialize instance trace_printk() buffers As trace_array_printk() used with not global instances will not add noise to the main buffer, they are OK to have in the kernel (unlike trace_printk()). This require the subsystem to create their own tracing instance, and the trace_array_printk() only writes into those instances. Add trace_array_init_printk() to initialize the trace_printk() buffers without printing out the WARNING message.
