Contribution for Tracing APIs

[Biswapriyo Nath]

I've some working code for event tracing APIs like StartTrace, OpenTrace,
ControlTrace etc. Those works in Windows 10 but are not present in ReactOS
Advapi.dll. How can I add those APIs?

We’re missing the entire event tracing framework, and unless you’re interested in
implementing the whole thing (both in user mode and kernel mode), unfortunately the APIs
you mentioned won’t be working anytime soon.

I can provide only the user mode APIs in advapi32.dll and sechost.dll. I'm
bit familiar with kernel mode but not with kernel mode APIs. Most of the
user mode event tracing APIs connected to ntoskrnl!NtTraceControl(). If
someone familiar with kernel mode he/she just have to apply that function
in kernel.

Thanks for reply.

There’s a hell of a lot more to implementing the kernel piece than that one API, but by
all means implement the usermode APIs and create a PR.
