tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string
In event format strings, the array size is reported in two locations.
One in array subscript and then via the "size:" attribute. The values
reported there have a mismatch.
For e.g., in sched:sched_switch the prev_comm and next_comm character
arrays have subscript values as [32] where as the actual field size is
16.
name: sched_switch
ID: 301
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1;signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:char prev_comm[32]; offset:8; size:16; signed:1;
field:pid_t prev_pid; offset:24; size:4; signed:1;
field:int prev_prio; offset:28; size:4; signed:1;
field:long prev_state; offset:32; size:8; signed:1;
field:char next_comm[32]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1;
field:pid_t next_pid; offset:56; size:4; signed:1;
field:int next_prio; offset:60; size:4; signed:1;
After bisection, the following commit was blamed:
92edca0 tracing: Use direct field, type and system names
This commit removes the duplication of strings for field->name and
field->type assuming that all the strings passed in
__trace_define_field() are immutable. This is not true for arrays, where
the type string is created in event_storage variable and field->type for
all array fields points to event_storage.
Use __stringify() to create a string constant for the type string.
Also, get rid of event_storage and event_storage_mutex that are not
needed anymore.
also, an added benefit is that this reduces the overhead of events a bit more:
