From 6ea22486ba46bcb665de36514094d74575cd1330 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 12:48:53 +0000 Subject: tracing: Add array printing helper If a trace event contains an array, there is currently no standard way to format this for text output. Drivers are currently hacking around this by a) local hacks that use the trace_seq functionailty directly, or b) just not printing that information. For fixed size arrays, formatting of the elements can be open-coded, but this gets cumbersome for arrays of non-trivial size. These approaches result in non-standard content of the event format description delivered to userspace, so userland tools needs to be taught to understand and parse each array printing method individually. This patch implements a __print_array() helper that tracepoint implementations can use instead of reinventing it. A simple C-style syntax is used to delimit the array and its elements {like,this}. So that the helpers can be used with large static arrays as well as dynamic arrays, they take a pointer and element count: they can be used with __get_dynamic_array() for use with dynamic arrays.
