tracing: Move trace_handle_return() out of line

tracing: Move trace_handle_return() out of line

Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this:

 static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s)
 {
        return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ?
                TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
 }

Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is:

 static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s)
 {
	return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq);
 }

And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is:

 static inline bool
 seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s)
 {
	return s->len > s->size;
 }

Making trace_handle_return() into:

 return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ?
           TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE :
           TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;

One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline. But because this
is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is extended for every tracepoint in
the system. Taking a look at a single tracepoint x86_irq_vector (was the
first one I randomly chosen). As trace_handle_return is used in the
TRACE_EVENT() macro of trace_raw_output_##call() we disassemble
trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector and do a diff:

- is the original
+ is the out-of-line code

I removed identical lines that were different just due to different
addresses.

If you notice, the original has 22 bytes of text more than the out of line
version. As this is for every TRACE_EVENT() defined in the system, this can
become quite large.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
8690305	5450490	1298432	15439227	 eb957b	vmlinux-orig
8681725	5450490	1298432	15430647	 eb73f7	vmlinux-handle

This change has a total of 8580 bytes in savings.

 $ objdump -dr /tmp/vmlinux-orig | grep '^[0-9a-f]* <trace_raw_output' | wc -l
324

That's 324 tracepoints. But this does not include modules (which contain
many more tracepoints). For an allyesconfig build:

 $ objdump -dr vmlinux-allyes-orig | grep '^[0-9a-f]* <trace_raw_output' | wc -l
1401

That's 1401 tracepoints giving us:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
137920629       140221067       53264384        331406080       13c0db00 vmlinux-allyes-orig

92920 bytes in savings!!!
