14 * using synth_event_gen_cmd_start() and synth_event_add_field(), the

18 * Following that are a few examples using the created events to test
19 * various ways of tracing a synthetic event.
21 * To test, select CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST and build the module.
24 * # insmod kernel/trace/synth_event_gen_test.ko
