tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events.
This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events.

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
12990946        1913568 9785344 24689858        178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux
12987390        1913504 9785344 24686238        178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched

That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event.
Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of
the events.
