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? -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tip-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
