[PATCH v2] tracing: probe-events: Cleanup entry-arg storing code
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Sat Mar 29 2025 - 02:40:09 EST
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
Cleanup __store_entry_arg() so that it is easier to understand.
The main complexity may come from combining the loops for finding
stored-entry-arg and max-offset and appending new entry.
This split those different loops into 3 parts, lookup the same
entry-arg, find the max offset and append new entry.
Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
- Rewrite comments to clarify what is required.
- Do not loop on code array twice.
- Use the last offset for the basement of the new offset.
