From: Steven Rostedt The index of the event is found by masking PAGE_MASK to it and subtracting the header size. Currently the header size is calculate by PAGE_SIZE - BUF_PAGE_SIZE, when we already have a macro BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE to define it. If we want to change BUF_PAGE_SIZE to something less than filling the rest of the page (this is done for debugging), then we break the algorithm to find the index.
