I was just fixing up the trace-cmd parser (which is also used for perf)
and came across this code. That TP_printk shows up in the format file
as:

print fmt: "hrtimer %p, func %pf, expires %llu, softexpires %llu", REC->timer, REC->function, (unsigned long long)(((ktime_t) { .tv64 = REC->expires }).tv64), (unsigned long long)(((ktime_t) { .tv64 = REC->softexpires }).tv64)

Now I'm trying to parse this with a tool so that we can have something
that can read the binary output, and be able to easily figure it out by
reading the format files. But trying to parse:

(unsigned long long)(((ktime_t) { .tv64 = REC->expires }).tv64)

Is not easy. It's basically implementing a C interpreter :-(

Is there anyway we can change that TRACE_EVENT to give us a better,
trace printk output?
