Hi Zheng,

Could you put the tracing_single_release_file_tr() into trace.c as a non
static function. Put the protocol in kernel/trace/trace.h.

Even though it's only used in trace_events_hist.c, I rather not hide it
there. If this issue appears for another file, I would look in trace.c and
trace.h for available functions to use.

Thanks,
