This is for the caller side, right?
Yep, see usage lower down.

Oh, this is what event_class is for. Thanks for the example :)

Good one, a helper to avoid calling those traces everywhere.

Honest question:
Since info == csd->info and func == csd->func, we could just pass csd, right?
I suppose the suggestion on the 3-argument version is to use the values already
fetched from memory instead of fetching them again. Is that correct?
There's also the special case of CSD_TYPE_TTWU where there is no csd->func,
instead we have an implicit func mapping to sched_ttwu_pending). I think
it's preferable to directly feed the right things to the TP than to
duplicate the "decoding" logic against the *csd passed as TP argument.
