If you do save the flags in the event, you can report that on output with
the __print_flags() macro:
TP_fast_assign(
[..]
__entry->sflags = s ? s->flags;
[..]
)
TP_printk("... slab_flags=%s ..",
[..]
__print_flags(sflags, "|",
{ SLAB_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS, "CONSISTENCY_CHECKS" },
{ SLAB_RED_ZONE, "RED_ZONE" },
{ SLAB_POISON, "POISON" },
{ SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN, "HWCACHE_ALIGN" },
{ SLAB_CACHE_DMA, "CACHE_DMA" },
{ SLAB_CACHE_DMA32, "CACHE_DMA32" },
{ SLAB_STORE_USER, "STORE_USER" },
{ SLAB_PANIC, "PANIC" }), ... )
And you get the flag output looking nicely, and all the processing is done
on the reader path.
That's if you find it useful at all.
