Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to synthetic_event_name(params). Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name as a function call. Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new 'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in as the first argument. In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call form, which remains documented as equivalent.

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.
