Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 2/7] tracing: Synthetic event field_pos is an index not a boolean

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@...dmis.org>

Performing the following:

 ># echo 'wakeup_lat s32 pid; u64 delta; char wake_comm[]' > synthetic_events

The reason is that the dynamic events array keeps track of the field
position of the fields array, via the field_pos variable in the
synth_field structure. Unfortunately, that field is a boolean for some
reason, which means any field_pos greater than 1 will be a bug (in this
case it was 2).
