process_durations() is not a hot path, but there is no good reason to
iterate over and over the data already in 'buf'.

Using a seq_buf saves some useless strcat() and the need of a temp buffer.
Data is written directly at the correct place.

Makes sense.

Queued and pushed, thank you all!

But an allmodconfig build complains about seq_buf_putc() being undefined,
that is, not exported.  I suspect that other seq_buf_*() functions in
this patch might also be complained about.

I am dropping this for the moment.  Please make it pass an allmodconfig
build so that I can pull it in again.  Please see below for the commit.

							Thanx, Paul


Ouch!

seq_buf_init(), seq_buf_terminate(), seq_buf_clear() are inlined functions in a .h file, so shouldn't be a problem.

seq_buf_printf() is exported, but seq_buf_putc() is not!
Really odd to me.

Kees Cook (added in cc) suggests to use this API (see [1]) to avoid some potential issues and ease the management of NULL terminated strings in buffers. (#LinuxHardening).

I'll propose to add the missing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
