"Format mismatch for probe probe_name (format), marker (format)"
+Another way to use markers is to simply define the marker without generating any
+function call to actually call into the marker. This is useful in combination
+with tracepoint probes in a scheme like this :
+
+void probe_tracepoint_name(unsigned int arg1, struct task_struct *tsk);
+
+DEFINE_MARKER_TP(marker_eventname, tracepoint_name, probe_tracepoint_name,
+ "arg1 %u pid %d");

+{
+ struct marker *marker = &GET_MARKER(kernel_irq_entry);
+ /* write data to trace buffers ... */
+}
