[lttng-dev] Can't receive a lot of functions that i registerd as trace-points

Hi Lin,

could you keep the lttng-dev list in CC on your replies in the future?

This looks fine to me.

On a linux 4.19 system, I ran a test with using lttng-modules 2.12.14. I 
saw events for "net_napi_gro_receive_entry".

In parallel with the LTTng tracing session, I ran

   perf stat -e 
net:netif_rx_ni_entry,net:netif_receive_skb_list_entry,net:napi_gro_receive_entry

The above allowed me to confirm that there were 
"net:napi_gro_receive_entry_events", but no "net:netif_rx_ni_entry" or 
"net:netif_receive_skb_list_entry" occurrences in my test.

Are you seeing a situation where another tool is recording occurrences 
of the events that you think aren't being seen during your tracing session?

thanks,
