[ Upstream commit b55b0a0d7c4aa2dac3579aa7e6802d1f57445096 ]
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.
