*
* To test, select CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST and build the module.
* Then:
*
* # insmod kernel/trace/synth_event_gen_test.ko
* # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
*
* You should see several events in the trace buffer -
* "create_synth_test", "empty_synth_test", and several instances of
* "gen_synth_test".
*
* To remove the events, remove the module:
*
* # rmmod synth_event_gen_test
