[PATCH v3 0/3] tracing: Changes to saved_cmdlines

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Feb 16 2024 - 16:00:21 EST



Repost of "tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic" (hence the v3:
v2 at: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240213115232.5fd9e611@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/)
That patch was based on the two other patches in this series, but
I forgot to post those two other patches.

Instead of applying the update to the saved_cmdlines logic on top of the
two phantom patches, apply it first. This way it can be backported
nicely. I put a "Fixes" tag on it but not a Cc stable as it's more of
a nice to have than fixing any bug (besides wasting some memory).

The second two patches simply move code around. The goal is to keep
all the saved_cmdlines logic in one place. Currently it's in two files
(trace.c and trace_sched_switch.c). Since trace.c is awfully large,
move all the code to trace_sched_switch.c, as that's its only purpose
today anyway.

The first patch is the saved_cmdlines update to consolidate memory.

The second patch removes some open coded saved_cmdlines logic in trace.c
into a helper function to make it a cleaner move.

The last patch simply moves the code from trace.c into trace_sched_switch.c

Steven Rostedt (Google) (3):
tracing: Have saved_cmdlines arrays all in one allocation
tracing: Move open coded processing of tgid_map into helper function
tracing: Move saved_cmdline code into trace_sched_switch.c
