Trace events are already present for the receive entry points, to indicate how the reception entered the stack. This patch adds the corresponding exit trace events that will bound the reception such that all events occurring between the entry and the exit can be considered as part of the reception context. This greatly helps for dependency and root cause analyses. Without this, it is not possible with tracepoint instrumentation to determine whether a sched_wakeup event following a netif_receive_skb event is the result of the packet reception or a simple coincidence after further processing by the thread. It is possible using other mechanisms like kretprobes, but considering the "entry" points are already present, it would be good to add the matching exit events. In addition to linking packets with wakeups, the entry/exit event pair can also be used to perform network stack latency analyses.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
