[PATCH 0/5] tracing: probes: Use heap instead of stack for temporary buffers

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

Hi,

Here is a series of cleanup patches which allocate temporary buffers
and objects on heap (slab) instead of the stack. This reduces a
possibility of stack overflow. This may reduce the performance but
the modified path is not a hot path.
