Looking at this a bit deeper (actually looking at it in the context of the code), we can make this even better.
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACING # define DEFINE_RCU_TPS(sname) \ static char sname##_varname[] = #sname; \ static const char *tp_##sname##_varname __used __tracepoint_string = sname##_varname; # define RCU_STATE_NAME(sname) sname##_varname; #else # define DEFINE_RCU_TPS(sname) # define RCU_STATE_NAME(sname) __stringify(sname) #endif
Then add:
.name = RCU_STATE_NAME(sname), \
This will get rid of the sname##_varname variable as well.
