/*
 * The TRACE_EVENT macro is broken up into 5 parts.
 *
 * name: name of the trace point. This is also how to enable the tracepoint.
 *   A function called trace_foo_bar() will be created.
 *
 * proto: the prototype of the function trace_foo_bar()
 *   Here it is trace_foo_bar(char *foo, int bar).
 *
 * args:  must match the arguments in the prototype.
 *    Here it is simply "foo, bar".
 *
 * struct:  This defines the way the data will be stored in the ring buffer.
 *          The items declared here become part of a special structure
 *          called "__entry", which can be used in the fast_assign part of the
 *          TRACE_EVENT macro.
 *
 *      Here are the currently defined types you can use:
 *
 *   __field : Is broken up into type and name. Where type can be any
 *         primitive type (integer, long or pointer).
 *
 *        __field(int, foo)
 *
 *        __entry->foo = 5;
 *
 *   __field_struct : This can be any static complex data type (struct, union
 *         but not an array). Be careful using complex types, as each
 *         event is limited in size, and copying large amounts of data
 *         into the ring buffer can slow things down.
 *
 *         __field_struct(struct bar, foo)
 *
 *         __entry->bar.x = y;

 *   __array: There are three fields (type, name, size). The type is the
 *         type of elements in the array, the name is the name of the array.
 *         size is the number of items in the array (not the total size).
 *
 *         __array( char, foo, 10) is the same as saying: char foo[10];
 *
 *         Assigning arrays can be done like any array:
 *
 *         __entry->foo[0] = 'a';
 *
 *         memcpy(__entry->foo, bar, 10);
 *
 *   __dynamic_array: This is similar to array, but can vary its size from
 *         instance to instance of the tracepoint being called.
 *         Like __array, this too has three elements (type, name, size);
 *         type is the type of the element, name is the name of the array.
 *         The size is different than __array. It is not a static number,
 *         but the algorithm to figure out the length of the array for the
 *         specific instance of tracepoint. Again, size is the number of
 *         items in the array, not the total length in bytes.
 *
 *         __dynamic_array( int, foo, bar) is similar to: int foo[bar];
 *
 *         Note, unlike arrays, you must use the __get_dynamic_array() macro
 *         to access the array.
 *
 *         memcpy(__get_dynamic_array(foo), bar, 10);
 *
 *         Notice, that "__entry" is not needed here.
 *
 *   __string: This is a special kind of __dynamic_array. It expects to
 *         have a null terminated character array passed to it (it allows
 *         for NULL too, which would be converted into "(null)"). __string
 *         takes two parameter (name, src), where name is the name of
 *         the string saved, and src is the string to copy into the
 *         ring buffer.
 *
 *         __string(foo, bar)  is similar to:  strcpy(foo, bar)
 *
 *         To assign a string, use the helper macro __assign_str().
 *
 *         __assign_str(foo);
 *
 *	   The __string() macro saves off the string that is passed into
 *         the second parameter, and the __assign_str() will store than
 *         saved string into the "foo" field.
 *
 *   __vstring: This is similar to __string() but instead of taking a
 *         dynamic length, it takes a variable list va_list 'va' variable.
 *         Some event callers already have a message from parameters saved
 *         in a va_list. Passing in the format and the va_list variable
 *         will save just enough on the ring buffer for that string.
 *         Note, the va variable used is a pointer to a va_list, not
 *         to the va_list directly.
 *
 *           (va_list *va)
 *
 *         __vstring(foo, fmt, va)  is similar to:  vsnprintf(foo, fmt, va)
 *
 *         To assign the string, use the helper macro __assign_vstr().
 *
 *         __assign_vstr(foo, fmt, va);
 *
 *         In most cases, the __assign_vstr() macro will take the same
 *         parameters as the __vstring() macro had to declare the string.
 *         Use __get_str() to retrieve the __vstring() just like it would for
 *         __string().
 *
 *   __string_len: This is a helper to a __dynamic_array, but it understands
 *	   that the array has characters in it, it will allocate 'len' + 1 bytes
 *         in the ring buffer and add a '\0' to the string. This is
 *         useful if the string being saved has no terminating '\0' byte.
 *         It requires that the length of the string is known as it acts
 *         like a memcpy().
 *
 *         Declared with:
 *
 *         __string_len(foo, bar, len)
 *
 *         To assign this string, use the helper macro __assign_str().
 *         The length is saved via the __string_len() and is retrieved in
 *         __assign_str().
 *
 *         __assign_str(foo);
 *
 *         Then len + 1 is allocated to the ring buffer, and a nul terminating
 *         byte is added. This is similar to:
 *
 *         memcpy(__get_str(foo), bar, len);
 *         __get_str(foo)[len] = 0;
 *
 *        The advantage of using this over __dynamic_array, is that it
 *        takes care of allocating the extra byte on the ring buffer
 *        for the '\0' terminating byte, and __get_str(foo) can be used
 *        in the TP_printk().
 *
 *   __bitmask: This is another kind of __dynamic_array, but it expects
 *         an array of longs, and the number of bits to parse. It takes
 *         two parameters (name, nr_bits), where name is the name of the
 *         bitmask to save, and the nr_bits is the number of bits to record.
 *
 *         __bitmask(target_cpu, nr_cpumask_bits)
 *
 *         To assign a bitmask, use the __assign_bitmask() helper macro.
 *
 *         __assign_bitmask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar), nr_cpumask_bits);
 *
 *   __cpumask: This is pretty much the same as __bitmask but is specific for
 *         CPU masks. The type displayed to the user via the format files will
 *         be "cpumaks_t" such that user space may deal with them differently
 *         if they choose to do so, and the bits is always set to nr_cpumask_bits.
 *
 *         __cpumask(target_cpu)
 *
 *         To assign a cpumask, use the __assign_cpumask() helper macro.
 *
 *         __assign_cpumask(target_cpus, cpumask_bits(bar));
 *
 * fast_assign: This is a C like function that is used to store the items
 *    into the ring buffer. A special variable called "__entry" will be the
 *    structure that points into the ring buffer and has the same fields as
 *    described by the struct part of TRACE_EVENT above.
 *
 * printk: This is a way to print out the data in pretty print. This is
 *    useful if the system crashes and you are logging via a serial line,
 *    the data can be printed to the console using this "printk" method.
 *    This is also used to print out the data from the trace files.
 *    Again, the __entry macro is used to access the data from the ring buffer.
 *
 *    Note, __dynamic_array, __string, __bitmask and __cpumask require special
 *       helpers to access the data.
 *
 *      For __dynamic_array(int, foo, bar) use __get_dynamic_array(foo)
 *            Use __get_dynamic_array_len(foo) to get the length of the array
 *            saved. Note, __get_dynamic_array_len() returns the total allocated
 *            length of the dynamic array; __print_array() expects the second
 *            parameter to be the number of elements. To get that, the array length
 *            needs to be divided by the element size.
 *
 *      For __string(foo, bar) use __get_str(foo)
 *
 *      For __bitmask(target_cpus, nr_cpumask_bits) use __get_bitmask(target_cpus)
 *
 *      For __cpumask(target_cpus) use __get_cpumask(target_cpus)
 *
 *
 * Note, that for both the assign and the printk, __entry is the handler
 * to the data structure in the ring buffer, and is defined by the
 * TP_STRUCT__entry.
