[PATCH v3 11/17] tracing: Introduce kho serialization

From: Alexander Graf
Date: Wed Jan 17 2024 - 09:51:24 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.
