Don't waste tracepoint segment memory on per-btree block allocation tracepoints when we can do it from the generic btree code. With this patch applied, two tracepoints are collapsed into one tracepoint, with the following effects on objdump -hx xfs.ko output: Before: 10 __tracepoints_ptrs 00000b38 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 001412f0 2**2 14 __tracepoints_strings 00005433 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 001689a0 2**5 29 __tracepoints 00010d30 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0023fe00 2**5 After: 10 __tracepoints_ptrs 00000b34 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 001417b0 2**2 14 __tracepoints_strings 00005413 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00168e80 2**5 29 __tracepoints 00010cd0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00240760 2**5 Column 3 is the section size in bytes; removing these two tracepoints reduces the size of the ELF segments by 132 bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
