[PATCH 10/15] tracing: Introduce kho serialization

Alexander Graf graf at amazon.com
Tue Dec 12 16:04:47 PST 2023


We want to be able to transfer ftrace state from one kernel to the next.
To start off with, let's establish all the boiler plate to get a write
hook when KHO wants to serialize and fill out basic data.

Follow-up patches will fill in serialization of ring buffers and events.
