[PATCH 0/8] tracing: further shrinking trace events

[PATCH 0/8] tracing: further shrinking trace events

[Li Zefan]

patch 1-2: reduce per trace event foot print
patch 3-5: convert some trace events to DEFINE_EVENT
patch 6-8: do some cleanups and thus shrink text size a bit

Save ~5.7K in text and ~2.9K in data:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
7018612 2034376 7251132 16304120         f8c7f8 vmlinux.o.orig
7012847 2031440 7251132 16295419         f8a5fb vmlinux.o

And save considerable memory allocated by trace_define_event().

[PATCH 1/8] tracing: Use a global field list for all syscall exit events

[Li Zefan]

All syscall exit events have the same fields.

The kernel size drops 2.5K:

[PATCH 2/8] tracing: Don't allocate common fields for every trace events

[Li Zefan]

Every event has the same common fields, so it's a big waste of
memory to have a copy of those fields for every event.

[PATCH 3/8] tracing: Convert some timer events to DEFINE_EVENT

[Li Zefan]

Use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, and save ~2.3K:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
7018823 2031888 7251132 16301843         f8bf13 vmlinux.o.orig
7016727 2031696 7251132 16299555         f8b623 vmlinux.o

5 events are converted:

  timer_class:   timer_init, timer_expire_exit, timer_cancel
  hrtimer_class: hrtimer_init, hrtimer_cancel

No change in functionality.

tracing: Don't allocate common fields for every trace events

Every event has the same common fields, so it's a big waste of
memory to have a copy of those fields for every event.

tracing: Convert some timer events to DEFINE_EVENT

Use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, and save ~2.3K:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
7018823 2031888 7251132 16301843         f8bf13 vmlinux.o.orig
7016727 2031696 7251132 16299555         f8b623 vmlinux.o

5 events are converted:

  timer_class:   timer_init, timer_expire_exit, timer_cancel
  hrtimer_class: hrtimer_init, hrtimer_cancel

No change in functionality.
