From: Steven Rostedt The functions that assign the contents for the ftrace events are defined by the TRACE_EVENT() macros. Each event has its own unique way to assign data to its buffer. When you have over 700 events, that means there's 700 functions assigning data uniquely for each event (not really that many, as DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and multiple DEFINE_EVENT()s will only need a single function). By making helper functions in the core kernel to do some of the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 707 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 19991705 2594648 1945600 24531953 17653f1 vmlinux-before 19966937 2594648 1945600 24507185 175f331 vmlinux-after That's a total of 24768 bytes, which comes down to 35 bytes per event.
