After commit 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"), the content of the format file under /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0; to field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0; John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto. Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it: :One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend :struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length :of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified :form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs. The result as follows after this change, $ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0; Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y+QaZtz55LIirsUO@google.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230210155921.4610-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230212151303.12353-1-laoar.shao@gmail.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com> Cc: Kajetan Puchalski <kajetan.puchalski@arm.com> CC: Qais Yousef <qyousef@layalina.io> Fixes: 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN") Reported-by: John Stultz <jstultz@google.com> Debugged-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Suggested-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
