tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other
trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there
are several trace points where they are almost identical except for
the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful
in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the
developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more
TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then
they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event
would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and
be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
and override the print format.
Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were
converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.
I was able to get the following:
$ size kernel/sched.o-*
text data bss dec hex filename
79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace
101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ
104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace
sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points.
sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
sched.o-trace is the current trace events.
