When filtering trace events, a temp buffer is used because the extra copy from the temp buffer into the ring buffer is still faster than the direct write into the ring buffer followed by a discard if the filter does not match. But the data that can be stored in the temp buffer is a PAGE_SIZE minus the ring buffer event header. The calculation of that header size is complex, but using the helper macro "struct_size()" can simplify it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
