From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

In the process to make TRACE_EVENT macro work for modules, the trace_seq
operations must be available for core kernel code.

These operations are quite useful and can be used for other implementations.

The main idea is that we create a trace_seq handle that acts very much
like the seq_file handle.

struct trace_seq *s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s, GFP_KERNEL);

trace_seq_init(s);
trace_seq_printf(s, "some data %d\n", variable);

printk("%s", s->buffer);

The main use is to allow a top level function call several other functions
that may store printf like data into the buffer. Then at the end, the top
level function can process all the data with any method it would like to.
It could be passed to userspace, output via printk or even use seq_file:

trace_seq_to_user(s, ubuf, cnt);
seq_puts(m, s->buffer);
