From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" The rb_event_data() is the fast path of getting the ring buffer data from an event. Externally, ring_buffer_event_data() is used to access this function. But unfortunately, rb_event_data() is not inlined, and calling ring_buffer_event_data() causes that function to be called again. Force rb_event_data() to be inlined to lower the number of operations needed when calling ring_buffer_event_data().
