You can use __string_len() to determine the string length in the tracepoint
(which is executed in the TP_fast_assign() section).
My clean up patches will make __assign_str_len() obsolete too (I'm working
on them now), and you can just use __assign_str().
I noticed that I don't have a string_len example in the sample code and I'm
actually writing it now.
// cutting out everything else:
TRACE_EVENT(foo_bar,
TP_PROTO(const char *foo, int bar),
TP_ARGS(foo, bar),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__string_len( lstr, foo, bar < strlen(foo) ? bar :
strlen(foo) )
),
TP_fast_assign(
__assign_str(lstr, foo);
// Note, the above is with my updates, without them, you need to duplicate the
logic
// __assign_str_len(lstr, foo, bar < strlen(foo) ? bar :
strlen(foo));
),
TP_printk("%s", __get_str(lstr))
);
The above will allocate "bar < strlen(foo) ? bar : strlen(foo)" size on the
ring buffer. As the size is already stored, my clean up code uses that
instead of requiring duplicating the logic again.
