+Tracepoints
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+The hd-audio driver gives a few basic tracepoints.
+`hda:hda_send_cmd` traces each CORB write while `hda:hda_get_response`
+traces the response from RIRB (only when read from the codec driver).
+`hda:hda_bus_reset` traces the bus-reset due to fatal error, etc,
+`hda:hda_unsol_event` traces the unsolicited events, and
+`hda:hda_power_down` and `hda:hda_power_up` trace the power down/up
+via power-saving behavior.
+
+Enabling all tracepoints can be done like
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/hda/enable
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+then after some commands, you can traces from
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace file. For example, when you want to
+trace what codec command is sent, enable the tracepoint like:

+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
