From 92edca073c374f66b8eee20ec6426fb0cdb6c4d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:41:37 -0500 Subject: tracing: Use direct field, type and system names The names used to display the field and type in the event format files are copied, as well as the system name that is displayed. All these names are created by constant values passed in. If one of theses values were to be removed by a module, the module would also be required to remove any event it created. By using the strings directly, we can save over 100K of memory.
