This needs to have a change log. A tracepoint should never be added

Correct, because it can have unexpected side effects. Thus it is best
to call a wrapper function that is defined in a C file that will then
call the tracepoint. To avoid the overhead of the function call when
tracing is not enabled, you should use (in the header):

#include <linux/tracepoint-defs.h>

DECLARE_TRACEPOINT(<tracepoint-name>);

if (tracepoint_enabled(<tracepoint-name>))
do_<tracepoint-name>(...);

and in the C file have:

void do_<tracepoint-name>(...)
{
trace_<tracepoint-name>(...);
}

that calls the tracepoint. The tracepoint_enabled(<tracepoint-name>)()
is another special function that is created by the TRACE_EVENT() macro
to use, that is a static branch and not a real if statement. That is, it
is a nop that skips calling the wrapper function when not enabled, and
a jmp to call the wrapper function when the tracepoint is enabled.

How to do this is described in include/linux/tracepoint-defs.h and
there's an example of this use case in include/linux/mmap_lock.h.

Nothing stands out to me that would be wrong with the above.
