With CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n, I see a warning:
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:240:13: warning: 'control_ops_free' defined but not used
static void control_ops_free(struct ftrace_ops *ops)
^
Move that function around to an already existing #ifdef
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE block as the function is used solely from the
dynamic function tracing functions.

We should print some warning and kill ftrace functionality when the ftrace
function is not set correctly. Otherwise, ftrace might do crazy things without
an explanation. The error value has been ignored so far.
Note that an error that happens during updating all the traced calls is handled
in ftrace_replace_code(). We print more details about the particular
failing address via ftrace_bug() there.

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.
Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.

Tracepoints were made to allow enabling a tracepoint in a module before that
module was loaded. When a tracepoint is enabled and it does not exist, the
name is stored and will be enabled when the tracepoint is created.
The problem with this approach is that when a tracepoint is enabled when
it expects to be there, it gives no warning that it does not exist.
To add salt to the wound, if a module is added and sets the FORCED flag, which
can happen if it isn't signed properly, the tracepoint code will not enabled
the tracepoints, but they will be created in the debugfs system! When a user
goes to enable the tracepoint, the tracepoint code will not see it existing
and will think it is to be enabled later AND WILL NOT GIVE A WARNING.
The tracing will look like it succeeded but will actually be doing nothing.
This will cause lots of confusion and headaches for developers trying to
figure out why they are not seeing their tracepoints.

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 500 events,
that means there's 500 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 502 events, the change in size was:
text data bss dec hex filename
12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux
12959102 1913504 9785344 24657950 178401e /tmp/vmlinux.patched
That's a total of 28288 bytes, which comes down to 56 bytes per event.

Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of

The code for trace events to format the raw recorded event data
into human readable format in the 'trace' file is repeated for every
event in the system. When you have over 500 events, this can add up
quite a bit.

Note, this version does not save as much as the version of this patch
I had a few years ago. That is because in the mean time, commit
f71130de5c ("tracing: Add a helper function for event print functions")
did a lot of the work my original patch did. But this change helps
slightly, and is part of a larger clean up to reduce the size much further.

Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if
you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default
trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be
synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place
with respect to events on other CPUs.
The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care
about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple
atomic counter that is incremented for every event.
Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You
can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock

Support multi-buffer on uprobe-based dynamic events by
using ftrace_event_file.
This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer
support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd420c),
but revised as below:
Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from
array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list,
so this patch also change to the list design.
rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func,
to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete.
Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now,
but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive
in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow
one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using
perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently.
(Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe don't have this
limitation now)
