[PATCH] tracing: Have trace_marker break up by lines by size of trace_seq

[PATCH] tracing: Have trace_marker break up by lines by size of trace_seq

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If a trace_marker write is bigger than what trace_seq can hold, then it
will print "LINE TOO BIG" message and not what was written.

Instead, if check if the write is bigger than the trace_seq and break it
up by that size.

Ideally, we could make the trace_seq dynamic that could hold this. But
that's for another time.

Instead, check if ... ?

I think this is OK, but if possible it is better to be merged with the
"LINE TOO BIG" patch (by updating the version).

Ah yes, thank you.

What do you mean by "updating the version"?

Note, the LINE TOO BIG doesn't happen today. It only happens when applying
the sub buffer resize change, and then when I run the tests, it breaks when
the subbuffer is bigger than the trace_seq.
