From 1d18538e6a09265003a0a94ca779d7a6127cb76c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2021 23:42:57 -0400 Subject: tracing: Have dynamic events have a ref counter As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep the dynamic event from going away. Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure, make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.
