Frederic, this looks good to me, except the very last hunk.
See below for some comments.

I might have chosen names like TRACE_PRINT_{RETRY,DONE,DEFAULT_FORMAT},
but it's your call. I'm not sure which one is more self-explanatory
when you see a "return TRACE_...;" or "if (ret == TRACE_...)"

Shouldn't the return type be bool?
If it's not, reading this function makes me wonder about the conversion
from enum to int, i.e. what is the meaning of the int.

It would be shorter to write
if (ret != TRACE_TYPE_UNHANDLED)
and then one could even
return (ret == TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED);

Do these actually need checking? I don't think
the default print functions would ever return
TRACE_TYPE_UNHANDLED, could they?
And even if they did, do all the different default print
functions not handle the same set of entry types?

We have to find a proper way to prevent the pipe from closing
early. I'm trying to look into this. I'd like you to leave
that last hunk out. Other than that, very good.
Cheers.
btw. there might be a corner case, when a single line does not
fit even into an empty struct trace_seq in tracing_read_pipe(),
but I haven't thought of that yet. I'd expect it to hang.
