In LKET, we have some slight differences, listed below:

I called it "probe point". But "trace point" emphasizes more about 
"tracing".

 * event hook - refers to the (trace point definition)/(corresponding 
trace handler) in the *tracing* software for a specific event.

 * trace handler(probe handler) - The codes to be executed when a 
trace point is hit.
