From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rost...@goodmis.org> The TRACE_EVENT() macro handles dynamic strings by having:
TP_PROTO(struct some_struct *s), TP_ARGS(s), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(my_string, s->string) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(my_string, s->string); ) TP_printk("%s", __get_str(my_string)) There's even some code that may call a function helper to find the s->string value. The problem with the above is that the work to get the length of s->string is done twice. Once at the __string() and again in the __assign_str(). The length of the string is calculated via a strlen(), not once, but twice (via strcpy() in __assign_str()). Once during the __string() macro and again in __assign_str(). But the length is actually already recorded in the data location and there's no reason to call strlen() again. Just use the saved length that was saved in the __string() code for the __assign_str() code.
