Instead of out of lining trace_seq_has_overflowed(), have you tried to
out of line the function that's called by tracepoints (one per
tracepoint). That is, trace_handle_return()?
The trace_seq_handle_overflow() is used in not reproduced places that I
would like to keep it as an inline. If the issue is size of the kernel,
please just out of line the one place that calls it that is duplicated
for every tracepoint. Which happens to be trace_handle_return().
Thanks!
