Passing data to the function callback was originally done by adding the ftrace_ops in another structure, and using the container_of() to get the field. But this adds a bit more complexity than it is worth, and adding a simple .private field to ftrace_ops makes things a lot easier. But be warned, the .private data should not be freed once it is used unless the ftrace_ops itself has gone through the necessary freeing routines. A simple synchronize_sched() is not enough as functions can be traced that are called outside the view of RCU and all its concoctions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
