Co-existing of traceevent of trace-cmd and perf

[Zamir SUN <sztsian@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm packaging trace-cmd 2.9 into Fedora.

Back in trace-cmd 2.8, all the plugins are under 
$(libdir)/trace-cmd/plugins. While as of trace-cmd 2.9, I find the 
traceevent plugins are installed in $(libdir) by default. This brings up 
an interesting situation - the perf tool also contains a copy of the 
traceevent in the same directory. So this means trace-cmd and perf have 
file conflicts. In terms of packaging, this means users can only install 
one of them, not in parallel (at least for Fedora). So I'd like to see 
if there are existing proposals or suggestions for which one is expected 
to be used by other utilities? Or is there any official plan to move one 
of them to the other directory?

I'm copying Tzvetomir and Jiri as I think you're the first people for 
getting the plugins in this directory for trace-cmd and perf respectively.

Thanks in advance.
