Here's the patch I have at the head of the series now, with the above
ugliness changed to an unconditional __tracepoint_string attribute.

From: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 16:34:39 -0400
Subject: [PATCH] trace: don't refer __tracepoint_string to an undefined linker section

When CONFIG_TRACING is not set, the linker script doesn't specify any
__tracepoint_str section.  Let those __tracepoint_string marked strings
live in the default rodata section in that case.

OK.  Same end result, but much clearer.  Thanks.

Any comments / ACKs on the other patches?  I'd like to see 1/4 to 3/4 
(and your patch) merged upstream during the next window.  4/4 is up for 
debate.

You can add my Acked-by for patches 1,2 and 3, after the clean up of
the #ifdefs there.

I still don't like the fact that you need to add the #undef in patch 4.
I'm looking at other ways to fix that. I tried to do a few different
clean ups in the tracing infrastructure, but it seems that it may be
required. The other method I may try is to move the #undefs into the
ipi.h header itself.

I'll play more with this on Monday.
