From 0497a9ebaf7ae4d573497b3e053ad4c3d5c9921d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2013 16:08:10 -0500 Subject: tools lib traceevent: Add direct access to dynamic arrays Jiri Olsa was writing a plugin for the cfg80211_tx_mlme_mgmt trace event, and was not able to get the implemented function working. The event's print fmt looks like: "netdev:%s(%d), ftype:0x%.2x", REC->name, REC->ifindex, __le16_to_cpup((__le16 *)__get_dynamic_array(frame)) As there's no helper function for __le16_to_cpup(), Jiri was creating one with a plugin. But unfortunately, it would not work even though he set up the plugin correctly. The problem is that the function parameters do not handle the helper function "__get_dynamic_array()", and that passes in a NULL pointer. Adding PRINT_DYNAMIC_ARRAY direct support to eval_num_arg() allows the use of __get_dynamic_array() in function parameters.
