[for-linus][PATCH 02/15] tracing: Have large events show up as [LINE TOO BIG] instead of nothing

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

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

If a large event was added to the ring buffer that is larger than what the
trace_seq can handle, it just drops the output:

 ~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 2/2   #P:8
 #
 #                                _-----=> irqs-off/BH-disabled
 #                               / _----=> need-resched
 #                              | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                              || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                              ||| / _-=> migrate-disable
 #                              |||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID     CPU#  |||||  TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |         |   |||||     |         |
            <...>-859     [001] .....   141.118951: tracing_mark_write           <...>-859     [001] .....   141.148201: tracing_mark_write: 78901234

Instead, catch this case and add some context:

 ~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 2/2   #P:8
 #
 #                                _-----=> irqs-off/BH-disabled
 #                               / _----=> need-resched
 #                              | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                              || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                              ||| / _-=> migrate-disable
 #                              |||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID     CPU#  |||||  TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |         |   |||||     |         |
            <...>-852     [001] .....   121.550551: tracing_mark_write[LINE TOO BIG]
            <...>-852     [001] .....   121.550581: tracing_mark_write: 78901234

This now emulates the same output as trace_pipe.
