tracing: Print trace_bprintk() formats for modules too
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses
to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace
tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events
to get the format saved when reading the ring buffer directly.

This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the
buffer, but just the address of the format, which is hidden in
the kernel memory.

But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core
and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported
as well.

/*
* The debugfs/tracing/printk_formats file maps the addresses with
* the ASCII formats that are used in the bprintk events in the
* buffer. For userspace tools to be able to decode the events from
* the buffer, they need to be able to map the address with the format.
*
* The addresses of the bprintk formats are in their own section
* __trace_printk_fmt. But for modules we copy them into a link list.
* The code to print the formats and their addresses passes around the
* address of the fmt string. If the fmt address passed into the seq
* functions is within the kernel core __trace_printk_fmt section, then
* it simply uses the next pointer in the list.
*
* When the fmt pointer is outside the kernel core __trace_printk_fmt
* section, then we need to read the link list pointers. The trick is
* we pass the address of the string to the seq function just like
* we do for the kernel core formats. To get back the structure that
* holds the format, we simply use containerof() and then go to the
* next format in the list.
