[PATCH 1/4] tracing: tprobe-events: Remove mod field from tprobe-event

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Sun Mar 16 2025 - 08:21:37 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove unneeded 'mod' struct module pointer field from trace_fprobe
because we don't need to save this info.
