[PATCH v1 05/12] tracefs: add TP_printk_no_nl - RFC

["Łukasz Bartosik" <lb@semihalf.com>]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>

This variant of TP_printk() does *not* add the trailing newline.  It
is for use by printk/debug-ish events which already have a trailing
newline.  Its here to support:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/
20200825153338.17061-1-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com/
which taught dyndbg to send pr_debug() msgs to tracefs, via -x/T flag.

It "reused" the include/trace/events/printk.h console event,
which does the following:

	TP_fast_assign(
		/*
		 * Each trace entry is printed in a new line.
		 * If the msg finishes with '\n', cut it off
		 * to avoid blank lines in the trace.
		 */
		if ((len > 0) && (text[len-1] == '\n'))
			len -= 1;

		memcpy(__get_str(msg), text, len);
		__get_str(msg)[len] = 0;
	),

That trim work could be avoided, *iff* all pr_debug() callers are
known to have no '\n' to strip.  While thats not true for *all*
callsites, it is 99+% true for DRM.debug callsites, and can be made
true for some subsets of prdbg/dyndbg callsites.

WANTED: macros to validate that a literal format-str has or doesn't
have a trailing newline, or to provide or trim trailing newline(s?).
Should be usable in TP_printk* defns, for use in new event defns.
