Subject: [PATCH v6 09/10] eventfs: Move tracing/events to eventfs
Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other
part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was
created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and
directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these
files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory
resources.
Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the
meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files
in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent
them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are
freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these
seldom referenced dentries and inodes.
