Trace events are useful for people who collect data from the Ftrace outputs. There're people who analyse the relationship of cpufreq, thermal and hwmon (power/voltage/current) using the convenient and timestamped Ftrace outputs, while unlike cpufreq and thermal subsystems the hwmon does not have trace events supported yet. So this patch adds initial trace events for the hwmon core. To call hwmon_attr_base() for aligned attr index numbers, it also moves the function upward. Ftrace outputs: ...: hwmon_attr_show_string: index=2, attr_name=in2_label, val=VDD_5V ...: hwmon_attr_show: index=2, attr_name=in2_input, val=5112 ...: hwmon_attr_show: index=2, attr_name=curr2_input, val=440 Note that the _attr_show and _attr_store functions are tied to the _with_info API. So a hwmon driver requiring the trace events feature should use _with_info API to register a hwmon device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
