tracing: Fix TASK_COMM_LEN in trace event format file
After commit 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
to
field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
:One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
:struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
:of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
:form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.
The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
