Before I forget again ... v2 was: - rebased on 6.9-rc1 - always search for __print_sym() and get rid of the DYNPRINT flag and associated code; I think ideally we'll just remove the older __print_symbolic() entirely - use ':' as the separator instead of "//" since that makes searching for it much easier and it's still not a valid char in an identifier - fix RCU v3: - fix #undef issues - fix drop_monitor default - rebase on linux-trace/for-next (there were no conflicts) - move net patches to 3/4 - clarify symbol name matching logic (and remove ")" from it) v4: - fix non-module build and possibly dynamic event handling To recap, it's annoying to have irq/65-iwlwifi:-401 [000] 22.790000: kfree_skb: ... reason: 0x20000 and much nicer to see irq/65-iwlwifi:-401 [000] 22.790000: kfree_skb: ... reason: RX_DROP_MONITOR but this doesn't work now because __print_symbolic() can only deal with a hard-coded list (which is actually really big.) So here's __print_sym() which doesn't build the list into the kernel image, but creates it at runtime. For userspace, it will look the same as __print_symbolic() (it literally shows __print_symbolic() to userspace) so no changes are needed, but the actual list of values exposed to userspace in there is built dynamically. For SKB drop reasons, this then has all the reasons known when userspace queries the trace format. I guess patch 3/4 should go through net-next, so not sure how to handle this patch series. Or perhaps, as this will not cause conflicts, in fact I've been rebasing it for a long time, go through tracing anyway with an Ack from netdev? But I can also just wait for the trace patch(es) to land and resubmit the net patches after. Assuming this looks good at all :-) Thanks, johannes
