Commit f7f7bac9cb1c ("rcu: Have the RCU tracepoints use the tracepoint_string
infrastructure") unconditionally populates the __tracepoint_str input section,
but this section is not assigned an output section if CONFIG_TRACING is not set.
This results in the __tracepoint_str turning up in unexpected places, i.e.,
after _edata.

If you get a Reviewed-by from Steven Rostedt, I will be happy to queue
this one.

I'm fine with it, but it should add a comment.

Also, perhaps we should call it:

 DEFINE_RCU_TPS()

Other than that, I'm fine with the patch.

I'll review v2 ;-)

Ehm, actually, a comment to that effect is already right there in the file.
Would you still like me to add this additional comment?

Heh, I surprised myself with my own documentation :-)

No, I think the existing comment is good enough. Just rename the macro
then.

Thanks!
