TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define a tracepoint.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions

The tracing header needs to include definitions for the macros used and
the types referenced. This lets automated tracing tools like SystemTap
make use of the tracepoint without any specific knowledge of its
meaning (leaving that to the user).
