/* High speed event logger */

/** \file
    The fine-grained event logger allows lightweight, thread-safe
    event logging at minimum cost. In typical operation, logging
    a single event costs around 80ns on x86_64. It's appropriate
    for at-least per-frame event-logging in vector packet processing.

    See https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP/elog for more information.
