There's a change I want to make to the tracing infrastructure that may
require TRACE_SYSTEM be a valid variable name. As '-' can not be used
in a variable, and I found only three cases that it is a TRACE_SYSTEM
name, I want to ask those that are responsible if it is OK to change
them?

The three systems are:

 #define TRACE_SYSTEM kvm-s390
 #define TRACE_SYSTEM xhci-hcd
 #define TRACE_SYSTEM intel-sst


I want to replace the '-' with '_'. But this will have a user space
visible affect, which is why I'm inquiring with you. If this will break
any scripts or annoy any users that you know of, I'll need to make a
work around (which would not be hard to do). But if I don't need to do
that, I prefer to just use TRACE_SYSTEM as is.

I'll just do the work around if there is any user space tool that you
know of that will break with this change.

The effect is that the directories in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/
will be different. That is,

 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm-s390/

will become

 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm_s390/

And the same for the other two. Is this a problem?

Thanks!
