tracing: Use kstrdup_const instead of private implementation The kernel now has kstrdup_const/kfree_const for reusing .rodata (typically string literals) when possible; there's no reason to duplicate that logic in the tracing system. Moreover, as the comment above core_kernel_data states, it may not always return true for .rodata - that is for example the case on x86_64, where we thus end up kstrdup'ing all the passed-in strings. Arguably, testing for .rodata explicitly (as kstrdup_const does) is also more correct: I don't think one is supposed to be able to change the name after creating the event_subsystem by passing the address of a static char (but non-const) array.
