The following APIs are renamed: tracefs_get_hist_name() -> tracefs_hist_get_name() tracefs_get_hist_event() -> tracefs_hist_get_event() tracefs_get_hist_system() -> tracefs_hist_get_system() This is done in order to match the naming convention used in the library. The patch adds documentation as well.
