ftrace exists and is generic.
Several of these seem to be function tracing style uses and should just be deleted instead.
function tracing style uses means?
ftrace
see:
Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt
there are some prints which are printing the function name while printing the debug message. are those function tracing style uses??
A debug message should generally not be emitting a message just for the sake of documenting when a function is entered/left.
Sometimes that is useful for initial debugging, but almost always those debugging printks should not be left in the code that is pushed to kernel.org.
