From 4d4c9cc839a308be3289a361ccba4447ee140552 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2014 08:59:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add __field_struct macro for TRACE_EVENT() Currently the __field() macro in TRACE_EVENT is only good for primitive values, such as integers and pointers, but it fails on complex data types such as structures or unions. This is because the __field() macro determines if the variable is signed or not with the test of: (((type)(-1)) < (type)1) Unfortunately, that fails when type is a structure. Since trace events should support structures as fields a new macro is created for such a case called __field_struct() which acts exactly the same as __field() does but it does not do the signed type check and just uses a constant false for that answer.
