[RFC][PATCH 0/4] tracing/perf: Use helper functions to help shrink kernel size

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

This patch set is another effort to bring down the size of trace events.

Helper functions are used to remove duplicate code that is created
for each event by the TRACE_EVENT() macros. With a config that enables
707 events in the core kernel, the size is brought down 91,774 bytes!


Steven Rostedt (4):
      tracing: Move print code from macro to standalone function
      tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function
      tracing: Use helper functions in event assignment to shrink macro size
      perf/events: Use helper functions in event assignment to shrink macro size
