order to support embedded systems which use read-only memory for their code, the
optimization can be disabled through menu options.
+The MF_* flags can be used to control the type of marker. See the
+include/marker.h header for the list of flags. They can be specified as the
+first parameter of the _MARK() macro, such as the following example which is
+safe wrt lockdep.c (useful for marking lockdep.c functions).
+
+_MARK(_MF_DEFAULT | ~_MF_LOCKDEP, subsystem_eventb,
+ MARK_NOARGS);
+
+Another example is to specify that a specific marker must never call printk :
+_MARK(_MF_DEFAULT | ~_MF_PRINTK, subsystem_eventc,
+ "%d %s %p[struct task_struct]",
+ someint, somestring, current);
+
+Flag compatibility is checked before connecting the probe to the marker.
