2009-09-12tracing: show details of structures within the ftrace structuresSteven Rostedt
Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format file. A binary reader of the ring buffer needs to know more about how the fields are broken up. This patch adds to the ftrace structure macros new fields to describe the structures inside a structure.

2009-09-12tracing: use macros to create internal ftrace entry ring buffer structuresSteven Rostedt
The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand. This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync with what is actually shown. This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build the structures so that their formats can be automated and this will keep the structures in sync with what users can see. This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further patches will build off of this to automate the format files. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
