Subject: [PATCH v4 6/7] Documentation: tracing: add new type '%pd' and '%pD' for kprobe
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 17:21:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240123092139.3698375-7-yebin10@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240123092139.3698375-1-yebin10@huawei.com>

Similar to printk() '%pd' is for fetch dentry's name from struct dentry's
pointer, and '%pD' is for fetch file's name from struct file's pointer.
