tracing/filters: Dynamically allocate filter_pred.regex
Every predicate allocation includes a MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256) char array in the regex field, even if the predicate function does not use the field. A later commit will introduce a dynamically allocated cpumask to struct filter_pred, which will require a dedicated freeing function. Bite the bullet and make filter_pred.regex dynamically allocated. While at it, reorder the fields of filter_pred to fill in the byte holes. The struct now fits on a single cacheline. No change in behaviour intended. The kfree()'s were patched via Coccinelle: @@ struct filter_pred *pred; @@ -kfree(pred); +free_predicate(pred); Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230707172155.70873-2-vschneid@redhat.com Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Leonardo Bras <leobras@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
