Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Optimize event type allocation with IDA
Date:   Wed, 9 Nov 2022 11:23:52 +0800

After commit 060fa5c83e67 ("tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after
 overflow"), trace events with dynamic type are linked up in list
'ftrace_event_list' through field 'trace_event.list'. Then when max
event type number used up, it's possible to reuse type number of some
freed one by traversing 'ftrace_event_list'.

As instead, using IDA to manage available type numbers can make codes
simpler and then the field 'trace_event.list' can be dropped.

Since 'struct trace_event' is used in static tracepoints, drop
'trace_event.list' can make vmlinux smaller. Local test with about 2000
tracepoints, vmlinux reduced about 64KB:
  before：-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 76669448 Nov  8 17:14 vmlinux
  after： -rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 76604176 Nov  8 17:15 vmlinux
