Subject: [GIT PULL] tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string
Linus,
Vaibhav Nagarnaik discovered that since 3.10 a clean up patch made the
array index in the trace event format bogus. He supplied an elegant solution
that uses __stringify() and also removes the need for the event_storage
and event_storage_mutex that cuts off a few K of overhead from
the trace events.
I know this is very late in the -rcs. I'm fine if you don't pull this
and I'll just add it to my 3.15 push. The Cc to stable still stands as
this does fix bogus information passed to userspace.
This actually conflicts with my current 3.15 queue, as I had a not so
elegant code reduction of this same code. I'll have to revert my change
to use this one instead.
I'll let you decide to pull it or let it wait.

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:
