Yeah, I removed that, but maybe I misunderstood.

Yeah, with this change, trace_event_update_all() is changed to call
update_event_fields() on all events even if there is no eval map.
And this trace_event_update_all() is called from the below call chain;

trace_module_notify() -> trace_module_add_evals() -> 
trace_event_update_with_eval_map().

So, IIUC, if there is any dynamic events on the list, and a module is
loaded, trace_event_update_all() is called.

Hmm, if so, this is really inefficient. We need to introduce build-time
sanitize routine.

Thank you,
