From 1c53d781d42541adc5ba76b4f843a3ff382e01fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 22:24:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Make printk_trace global for tracing system The printk_trace is used to determine which trace_array trace_printk() writes to. By making it a global variable among the tracing subsystem it will allow the trace_printk functions to be moved out of trace.c and still have direct access to that variable.
