I'm impressed! This uses some of the advanced features of the tracing
infrastructure. But I still have some comments to make about the layout
of the TP_STRUCT__entry() fields.

Kudos on using TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM :-)

More kudos on proper usage of __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() :-)

Order matters above to keep the events as compact as possible. The more
compact they are, the more events you can store without loss.

Now with SSAM_PTR_UID_LEN = 9, the above is (on a 64 bit system);

	9 bytes;
	1 byte;
	2 bytes;
	8 bytes;
	2 bytes;

The ftrace ring buffer is 4 byte aligned. As words and long words are
also 4 byte aligned, there's not much different to change. But it is
possible that the compiler might add 4 byte padding between the long
word "length" and "priority". Note, these are not packed structures.

Testing this out with the following code:

 $ cat << EOF > test.c
struct test {
	unsigned char array[9];
	unsigned char priority;
	unsigned short length;
	unsigned long state;
	unsigned short seq;
};

static struct test x;

void receive_x(struct test *p)
{
	p = &x;
}
EOF

 $ gcc -g -c -o test.o test.c
 $ pahole test.o
struct test {
	unsigned char              array[9];             /*     0     9 */
	unsigned char              priority;             /*     9     1 */
	short unsigned int         length;               /*    10     2 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	long unsigned int          state;                /*    16     8 */
	short unsigned int         seq;                  /*    24     2 */

	/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
	/* sum members: 22, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
	/* padding: 6 */
	/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

You do see a hole between length and state. Now if we were to move this
around a little.

 $ cat <<EOF > test2.c
struct test {
	unsigned long state;
	unsigned char array[9];
	unsigned char priority;
	unsigned short length;
	unsigned short seq;
};

static struct test x;

void receive_x(struct test *p)
{
	p = &x;
}
EOF

 $ gcc -g -c -o test2 test2.c
 $ pahole test2.o
struct test {
	long unsigned int          state;                /*     0     8 */
	unsigned char              array[9];             /*     8     9 */
	unsigned char              priority;             /*    17     1 */
	short unsigned int         length;               /*    18     2 */
	short unsigned int         seq;                  /*    20     2 */

	/* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
	/* padding: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};


We get a more compact structure with:

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__field(unsigned long, state)
		__array(char, uid, SSAM_PTR_UID_LEN)
		__field(u8, priority)
		__field(u16, length)
		__field(u16, seq)
	),

Even this would be better swapping the fields.

Strings are dynamic, and hold a 2 byte buffer. May be better to switch
the above as well.

Besides the layout, this patch was done nicely. Good job!
