From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 7dec935a3aa04412cba2cebe1524ae0d34a30c24 upstream. No reason to allocate tp_module structures for modules that have no tracepoints. This just wastes memory. Fixes: b75ef8b44b1c "Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex" Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <redacted> --- kernel/tracepoint.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+)
