[PATCH] tracing: rewrite trace_save_cmdline()

[Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5882 bytes --]

The attachment for this mail is a optimized patch when
SAVED_CMDLINE_COLLISION_WINDOW = 1. It has the best probe time(zero),
but it has a worst replacement-when-collision behavior.

I'm not surprise if you guys like the one in attachment:
It's not the end of the world if we do a bad replacement sometimes.

-------------------

Subject: [PATCH] tracing: rewrite trace_save_cmdline()

I found the sparse array map_pid_to_cmdline[PID_MAX_DEFAULT+1]
wastes too much memory, so I remove it.

The old FIFO algorithm is replaced with a new one:
Open address hash table with double hash + tick-LRU.
