Hi,
I checked in some changes about the event register codes of LKET.
The problem with the old codes is that register_sys_event() is a
script function which make stap unable to optimize away the unused
events register codes and global variables.
Here is a comparison:
"stap -e 'probe addevent.* {}' -bMv" will reduce the Pass 4 time from
136841real ms to 82107real ms, and the generated .ko size reduce from
4.2M to 3.8MB
And it will be more obvious, say, only a few events are traced, e.g,
'stap -e "probe addevent.iosyscall.read.entry {}" -bMv' will reduce
the Pass 4 time from 77616real ms to 8557real ms, and generated .ko
size reduce from 1.6M to 585KB.
