The API change is completed by the following commit:

commit 63ef26930fe613a266cc69f5089cf643dd59b012
Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers at efficios.com>
Date:   Sun Nov 13 14:07:57 2011 -0500

    Tracepoint API change: combine TP_PROTO and TP_VARS into TP_ARGS, remove _NOARGS macros
    
    New API for tracepoints, combining the TP_PROTO and TP_VARS arguments
    into a single "TP_ARGS" macro. It takes up to 10 parameters (from 0 to
    10). The "_NOARGS" special-case is not needed anymore: it can be
    achieved simply by passing an empty TP_ARGS:
    
      TP_ARGS(),
    
    to the standard tracepoint event declarations.
