[PATCH 10/24] trace: Reduce the number of function sites

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Sun Jan 15 22:15:47 CET 2023


Given that the compiler adds two function calls into each function, the
current spacing is overkill. Drop it down to 16 bytes per function, which
is still plenty. This saves some space in the trace buffer.

Also move the calculation into a function, so it is common code. Add a
check for gd->mon_len being unset, which breaks tracing.
