Subject: [for-next][PATCH 04/16] tracing: Point constant hist field type to string literal
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 20:05:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729000555.823727578@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260729000523.093060274@kernel.org
From: Yu Peng <pengyu@kylinos.cn>
The HIST_FIELD_FL_CONST path uses the fixed "u64" type string.
Point hist_field->type directly to the string literal, matching the
HIST_FIELD_FL_HITCOUNT path. The release path already uses kfree_const(),
so no duplication is needed.
