From 1d6bae966e90134bcfd7807b8f9488d55198de91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 19:16:14 -0400 Subject: tracing: Move raw output code from macro to standalone function The code for trace events to format the raw recorded event data into human readable format in the 'trace' file is repeated for every event in the system. When you have over 500 events, this can add up quite a bit. 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 12991007 1913568 9785344 24689919 178bcff /tmp/vmlinux.orig 12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux.patched Note, this version does not save as much as the version of this patch I had a few years ago. That is because in the mean time, commit f71130de5c7f ("tracing: Add a helper function for event print functions") did a lot of the work my original patch did. But this change helps slightly, and is part of a larger clean up to reduce the size much further.

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.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux size. From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated tracepoint is unloaded. text data bss dec hex filename 10443444 4282528 10391552 25117524 17f4354 vmlinux.orig 10434930 4282848 10391552 25109330 17f2352 vmlinux Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1396992381-23785-2-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com CC: Ingo Molnar CC: Frederic Weisbecker CC: Andrew Morton CC: Frank Ch.
