Li Zefan d0b6e04a4c tracing/events: Move TRACE_SYSTEM outside of include guard
If TRACE_INCLDUE_FILE is defined, <trace/events/TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.h>
will be included and compiled, otherwise it will be
<trace/events/TRACE_SYSTEM.h>

So TRACE_SYSTEM should be defined outside of #if proctection,
just like TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE.

Imaging this scenario:

 #include <trace/events/foo.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == foo
 ...
 #include <trace/events/bar.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar
 ...
 #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
 #include <trace/events/foo.h>
    -> TRACE_SYSTEM == bar !!!

and then bar.h will be included and compiled.

Steven Rostedt 44ad18e0a6 tracing: update sample event documentation
The comments in the sample code is a bit confusing. This patch
cleans them up a little.

Steven Rostedt 71e1c8ac42 tracing: update sample with TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
When creating trace events for ftrace, the header file with the TRACE_EVENT
macros must also have a macro called TRACE_SYSTEM. This macro describes
the name of the system the TRACE_EVENTS are defined for. It also doubles
as a way for the define_trace.h file to include the file that included
it.

For example:

in irq.h

 #define TRACE_SYSTEM irq

[...]

 #include <trace/define_trace.h>

The define_trace will use TRACE_SYSTEM to include irq.h. But if the name
of the trace system does not match the name of the trace header file,
one can override it with:

Which will change define_trace.h to inclued foo_trace.h instead of foo.h

The sample comments this, but people that use the sample code will more
likely use the code and not read the comments. This patch changes the
sample code to use the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE to better show developers how to
use it.

[ Impact: make sample less confusing to developers ]
