Subject: [PATCH v5 5/9] tracing: Rename __dynamic_array() to __dynamic_field() for ftrace
 events

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>

The ftrace events (like function, trace_print, etc) are created somewhat
manually and not via the TRACE_EVENT() or tracepoint magic macros. It has
its own macros.

The dynamic fields used __dynamic_array() to be created, but the output is
different than the __dynamic_array() used by TRACE_EVENT().

The TRACE_EVENT() __dynamic_array() creates the field like:

	field:__data_loc u8[] v_data;   offset:120;     size:4; signed:0;

Whereas the ftrace event is created as:

	field:char buf[];       offset:12;      size:0; signed:0;

The difference is that the ftrace field is defined as the rest of the size
of the event saved in the ring buffer. TRACE_EVENT() doesn't have such a
dynamic field, and its version saves a word that holds the offset into the
event that the field is stored, as well as the size.

For consistency rename the ftrace event macro to __dynamic_field(). This
way the ftrace event can also include a __dynamic_array() later that works
the same as the TRACE_EVENT() dynamic array.
