From 35bb4399bd0ef16b8a57fccea0047d98b6b0e7fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 22:26:46 -0400 Subject: tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events. This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events. By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux 12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event. Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of the events.

Each event has its own unique way to assign data to its buffer. When you have over 500 events, that means there's 500 functions assigning data uniquely for each event (not really that many, as DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and multiple DEFINE_EVENT()s will only need a single function).

Later, I received a patch from Vaibhav Nagarnaik that fixed a bug in the same code that this commit touches. Not only did it fix a bug, it also removed code and shrunk the size of the overhead of trace events even more than this commit did. Since this commit is scheduled for 3.15 and Vaibhav's patch is already in mainline, I need to revert this patch in order to keep it from conflicting with Vaibhav's patch. Not to mention, Vaibhav's patch makes this patch obsolete.
