[PATCH 10/15] tracing: Introduce kho serialization

From: Alexander Graf
Date: Tue Dec 12 2023 - 19:07:18 EST


We want to be able to transfer ftrace state from one kernel to the next.
To start off with, let's establish all the boiler plate to get a write
hook when KHO wants to serialize and fill out basic data.

Follow-up patches will fill in serialization of ring buffers and events.
