alloc_synth_event() currently has the following code to initialize the
event fields and dynamic_fields:
for (i = 0, j = 0; i < n_fields; i++) {
event->fields[i] = fields[i];
if (fields[i]->is_dynamic) {
event->dynamic_fields[j] = fields[i];
event->dynamic_fields[j]->field_pos = i;
event->dynamic_fields[j++] = fields[i];
event->n_dynamic_fields++;
}
}
1) It would make more sense to have all fields keep track of their
field_pos.
2) event->dynmaic_fields[j] is assigned twice for no reason.
3) We can move updating event->n_dynamic_fields outside the loop, and just
assign it to j.
This combination makes the code much cleaner.

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.
