[PATCH v4 3/5] tracing/kprobes: Skip setup_boot_kprobe_events() when no cmdline event

From: Yaxiong Tian <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-28 12:55:18
Also in: linux-block, linux-doc, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, tracing · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu

When the 'kprobe_event=' kernel command-line parameter is not provided,
there is no need to execute setup_boot_kprobe_events().

This change optimizes the initialization function init_kprobe_trace()
by skipping unnecessary work and effectively prevents potential blocking
that could arise from contention on the event_mutex lock in subsequent
operations.
