Yes it does. It you want to verify, simply boot the kernel without the
patch and do:

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/*/*/format > ~/formats1

Add the patch, compile and boot that kernel.

 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/*/*/format > ~/formats2

then:

 # diff formats1 formats2

and they should be the same, with the exception that the ID:'s can
change.

Also, let me send a v2. Resending this patch (from the private one)
seems to broke the format of it.
