From 060fa5c83e67901ba47ab484cfcdb32737d630ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:20:52 -0400 Subject: tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflow With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain trace events. This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.
