[for-next][PATCH 03/11] tracing: Use vmalloc_array() to improve code
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Sep 30 2025 - 13:01:25 EST
From: Qianfeng Rong <rongqianfeng@xxxxxxxx>
Remove array_size() calls and replace vmalloc() with vmalloc_array() in
tracing_map_sort_entries(). vmalloc_array() is optimized better, uses
fewer instructions, and handles overflow more concisely[1].
