Sure, I'll get there, for now its just setting scnprintf/strtoul helpers
based on tracepoint argument name and/or type.
But just like for syscalls, we'll get to have a way to specify that
'val', specifically for msr:write_msr, or sometimes, for the tracepoint
system part ('msr' in this case) should be formatted in some way.
For syscalls there is even provision for some args to be formmated based
on the value present in another arg, think ioctls, all this is being
refitted to support tracepoints other than the syscall ones.
The 'msr' one was the super low hanging fruit, we look just at its name,
no checks on what tracepoint it is, and we were investigating some stuff
at Red Hat and Marcelo said it was a PITA to be doing the lookups in
msr-index.h everytime he needed for look for those in traces, so came
first. :-)
