tracing: Optimize event type allocation with IDA
After commit 060fa5c8 ("tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflow"), trace events with dynamic type are linked up in list 'ftrace_event_list' through field 'trace_event.list'. Then when max event type number used up, it's possible to reuse type number of some freed one by traversing 'ftrace_event_list'. As instead, using IDA to manage available type numbers can make codes simpler and then the field 'trace_event.list' can be dropped. Since 'struct trace_event' is used in static tracepoints, drop 'trace_event.list' can make vmlinux smaller. Local test with about 2000 tracepoints, vmlinux reduced about 64KB: before:-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 76669448 Nov 8 17:14 vmlinux after: -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 76604176 Nov 8 17:15 vmlinux Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221110020319.1259291-1-zhengyejian1@huawei.comSigned-off-by:Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com> Acked-by:
