markers: create DEFINE_MARKER and GET_MARKER (new API)

Browse source 
Impact: new API.

Allow markers to be used only for declaration, without function call
associated. Useful to create specialized probes.

The problem we had is that two function calls were required when one
wanted to put a marker in a tracepoint probe. Now the marker can be used
simply for trace data type declaration, leaving the trace write work
within the tracepoint probe without any additional function call.

@ -70,6 +70,20 @@ a printk warning which identifies the inconsistency:
"Format mismatch for probe probe_name (format), marker (format)"
Another way to use markers is to simply define the marker without generating any
function call to actually call into the marker. This is useful in combination
with tracepoint probes in a scheme like this :
void probe_tracepoint_name(unsigned int arg1, struct task_struct *tsk);
DEFINE_MARKER_TP(marker_eventname, tracepoint_name, probe_tracepoint_name,
"arg1 %u pid %d");
notrace void probe_tracepoint_name(unsigned int arg1, struct task_struct *tsk)
{
struct marker *marker = &GET_MARKER(kernel_irq_entry);
/* write data to trace buffers ... */
}
* Probe / marker example
