From 1cd927ad6f62f27d8908498dcbf61395c5dd5fe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2022 14:39:03 -0400 Subject: tracing: mark user_events as BROKEN After being merged, user_events become more visible to a wider audience that have concerns with the current API. It is too late to fix this for this release, but instead of a full revert, just mark it as BROKEN (which prevents it from being selected in make config). Then we can work finding a better API. If that fails, then it will need to be completely reverted. To not have the code silently bitrot, still allow building it with COMPILE_TEST. And to prevent the uapi header from being installed, then later changed, and then have an old distro user space see the old version, move the header file out of the uapi directory. Surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current location, but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi directory, and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move the header back.
