After enabling CONFIG_TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE (which will soon be renamed to
CONFIG_TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE), I am able to examine the enums that have
been evaluated:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enum_map
(which will soon be renamed to eval_map)
And it showed some interesting results:
[..]
ZONE_MOVABLE 3 (oom)
ZONE_NORMAL 2 (oom)
ZONE_DMA32 1 (oom)
ZONE_DMA 0 (oom)
3 3 (oom)
2 2 (oom)
1 1 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT 1 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL 0 (oom)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (vmscan)
3 3 (vmscan)
2 2 (vmscan)
1 1 (vmscan)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (vmscan)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (kmem)
3 3 (kmem)
2 2 (kmem)
1 1 (kmem)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (kmem)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (compaction)
3 3 (compaction)
2 2 (compaction)
1 1 (compaction)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (compaction)
[..]
The name within the parenthesis are the trace systems that the enum/eval
maps are associated with. When there's a number evaluated to another
number, that tells me that the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() was used on a #define
and not an enum. As #defines get converted normally, they are not needed
to be evaluated.
Each of the above trace systems with the number to number evaluation
included the file include/trace/events/mmflags.h which has:
/* High-level compaction status feedback */
#define COMPACTION_FAILED 1
#define COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN 2
#define COMPACTION_PROGRESS 3
[..]
#define COMPACTION_FEEDBACK \
EM(COMPACTION_FAILED, "failed") \
EM(COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN, "withdrawn") \
EMe(COMPACTION_PROGRESS, "progress")
Which is still needed for the __print_symbolic() usage in the
trace_event. But it is not needed to be evaluated.
Removing the evaluation part removes the unnecessary evaluations of
numbers to numbers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
