+ needed. Another way is to dlopen the tracepoint probe when needed

- Example:
- tests/demo/ demo.c tp*.c ust_tests_demo*.h demo-trace
- - Note about dlopen() usage: due to locking side-effects due to the
- way libc lazily resolves Thread-Local Storage (TLS) symbols when a
- library is dlopen'd, linking the tracepoint probe or liblttng-ust
- with dlopen() is discouraged. They should be linked with the
- application using "-llibname" or loaded with LD_PRELOAD.
- Enable instrumentation and control tracing with the "lttng" command
from lttng-tools. See lttng-tools doc/quickstart.txt.

startup time.
